Having glanced a the PDF that Red Ezra posted I'd like to make a few corrections to my previous posts.
Quote:
The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and
Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) each require member countries to provide protection to
certain works from other member countries or created by nationals of other member
countries.

- Swedish ISPs are not respecting the DMCA because the
WCT has only been signed by Sweden but is not yet In Force.
The DMCA PDF states that for information (torrent files/flv files) residing on networks controlled by users (users uploading content) and for information location systems (tna, piratebay etc..) the systems themselves are not liable IF
Quote:
The provider must not have the requisite level of knowledge that the
material is infringing. The knowledge standard is the same as under the
limitation for information residing on systems or networks.
! If the provider has the right and ability to control the infringing activity,
the provider must not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to
the activity.
! Upon receiving a notification of claimed infringement, the provider
must expeditiously take down or block access to the material.
