Premier League wins case against broadband companies in Sweden

The Premier League has won a case against several broadband operators in a Swedish court. Sites that stream football matches without permission will now be blocked, Dagens Juridik writes.

The Premier League has sued six broadband operators in Sweden for not doing enough to stop domains from showing the league's broadcasts without permission.

The lawsuit targeted about 30 domain names that showed the matches.

The Patent and Market Court has now ruled that Telia, Tele2, Bahnhof, Telenor, Bredband2 and H13G must take technical measures to block the domains, writes Dagens Juridik.

The companies now have three weeks to block the domains. Failure to do so will result in a fine of half a million kronor.
