Swedish Pirate Party Presses Charges Against Banks For WikiLeaks Blockade

Posted by Unknown on from the obey-the-law dept.

davecb writes "Rick Falkvinge reports today that the Swedish Pirate Party has laid charges against at least Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal before the Finansinspektionen for refusing to pass on money owed to WikiLeaks. The overseer of bank licenses notes (in translation) that 'The law states, that if there aren't legal grounds to deny a payment service, then it must be processed.'"

    Not if one doesn't want to put themselves on the shit list of our shadow government.
