[AFP] A Swedish appeals court on Tuesday overturned a landmark file sharing ruling that forced an Internet service provider to reveal an Internet user’s identity to five publishers.The ruling was the first one to be rendered on the basis of Sweden’s new so-called “Ipred” law, which came into effect April 1 and gives copyright holders the right to require Internet service providers to reveal details of users who share files, paving the way for legal action.
