Swedish Internet Traffic Recovers After Initial IPRED Scare

When Sweden’s IPRED legislation came into force on April 1st this year, the country saw a massive 30% drop in Internet traffic.

Many attributed this to Internet user fears associated with increased powers of anti-piracy groups. Now, 8 months later, traffic is completely back to normal and on track to exceed pre-IPRED levels.
