Some good news from Denmark! The government has withdrawn the #VPN proposal after just five days, claiming that the proposal was misunderstood and that banning VPN use was never the intention. In that case, the drafting was exceptionally bad, and withdrawing the proposal is clearly the right thing to do.

I have since learned that the Danish proposal was inspired by this Swedish expert report (Utretning SOU 2025:100) https://www.regeringen.se/rattsliga-dokument/statens-offentliga-utredningar/2025/09/sou-2025100/ about measures against IPTV, save for the bad drafting on the Danish side which brought VPNs into the game (maybe unintentional).

People in Sweden should be concerned about this attempt of #Copyright maximalism (see next post). The Swedish expert report is currently in consultation until 22 January 2026 https://www.regeringen.se/remisser/2025/10/remiss-av-betankandet-atgarder-mot-illegal-ip-tv-sou-2025100/
