Swedish Authorities Step up Battle Against File-sharers

From PC World: Swedish police have searched houses belonging to people suspected of illegal file-sharing in Stockholm, Haparanda and Östersund in the last two weeks.

The latest search was made on Friday in Östersund. Police impounded a computer and questioned a suspect, according to senior public prosecutor Henrik Rasmusson. The results show that they are on the right track, he said.

The police raided houses in Stockholm and Haparanda on Aug. 26, and that investigation is ongoing.

Both cases are related to the use of file-sharing protocol Direct Connect, and the raids were on people suspected of running the hubs needed to share files.
