Swedish ISP Refuses To Block The Pirate Bay | TorrentFreak
Now that the IFPI has realized that it can’t sue every file-sharer in the world, it tries to force ISPs to block their customers from accessing filesharing sites such as The Pirate Bay. The IFPI recently forced an Israeli ISP to block access to HTTPShare.com - which boosted its visitors significantly - but it’s the block it achieved against The Pirate Bay in Denmark that is currently being used as leverage against other ISPs, this time in Sweden.

One such ISP is Telia Sonera, the dominant
internet provider in Sweden with a total of 106 million subscribers across
Europe. According to a report,
they have received a letter from the IFPI which states that legal measures will
be taken against them unless they block The Pirate Bay initially, and also some
other (as yet unnamed) sites connected to it.However, Telia is highly experienced in its field and has a very clear
understanding of its obligations under the law, law which does not require them
to block sites or filter content.

Long at loggerheads, cable provider Comcast Corp. and popular file-sharing company BitTorrent Inc. now are working together.
The deal comes as BitTorrent, which became known for developing software technology widely used to illegally share files, is trying to reinvent itself.

The companies are in talks to collaborate on ways to run BitTorrent's technology more smoothly on Comcast's broadband network, and allow Comcast to transport video files more effectively over its own network in the future, said Tony Warner, Comcast's chief technology officer.
