Swedish Internet provider TeliaSonera has been forced to disclose the identity of a customer believed to be behind file-sharing site Swetorrents, after losing a court case to a consortium of film companies in the District Court.

If TeliaSonera refuses to reveal the name and address of the IP address holder, the company will face a fine of SEK 750,000.

The court based its decision on the grounds that there is a probable case for copyright rights infringement.
