TLDR Swedish government has proposed tougher penalties for serious copyright infringement in Sweden. Under the proposals, serious copyright-related crimes would be treated more harshly, with prison sentences starting at six months and going all the way to a maximum of six years. The proposals were first tabled more than two years ago and have now been passed to the Law Council for consideration. The government also looked at whether amendments would be required to more easily seize all kinds of property in response to infringement, including intangible assets such as domain names.via the TL;DR App
