Anna Hörnlund, a lawyer for The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency, mentioned that it would be impossible to detect piracy without breaking the law on wiretapping. Eavesdropping is allowed only in a case of definitive and very severe crime. "To get access to this information, there needs to be a crime that is punishable by imprisonment and where a prosecutor believes charges can be made that leads to prison. In those cases, the ISP can hand over the information to the police. I don’t know how they think they will get through this by suing the ISP."
According to Patrik Hiselius the problem lies with record companies rather than ISPs whether they block or not. He also gave a hint how to get back on Track against piracy, "The best way to meet the demand for music and film on the Internet would be to make good, simple legal services available with good pricing. The legal sites still have lots of shortcomings when it comes to availability."
