Was on swedish news just how it was US goverment that thretened the swedish goverment with embargos if they didnt take actions against tpb.


Highly highly highly doubt they did. It would be with the entire EU too, not just Sweden because there's a common tariff/policy with third countries. And if they really did have an embargo with Sweden, Sweden could just get any EU country to order goods and then import then over without encurring any extra costs because of the internal market.

Sounds to me like one of thsoe stupid made up internet stories.

The swedes who ordered the raid confessed that americans threatened to blacklist them on world trade organisation so its probably not made up.

I just hate how all this has been done. Typical fucking yanks threating with something just to get countries to follow their will. Ok, if we were allied with Iran and were making nukes sure an embargo threat could've been something. But for some fucking warez?

God I wish our government would stop following the american lead, fucking Göran Persson and his dumbass government. Sad

Piratpartiet ftw!

MPAA threatened Sweden with sanctions if they did not take action against Piratebay. Typical US goverment behaviour.
