The subject of this essay is the implementation of article 8, in Directive 2004/48/EC on the enforcement of intellectual property rights, to Swedish legislation. The directive has tried to correct the fact that there are not sufficient measures right-holders can take in case of copyright infringement, in all Member States. The basic dilemma is that fundamental rights collide with each other and there is a need to seek a balance between the two different rights, intellectual property rights and privacy rights.
