ISPs' Free Ride Over in Sweden?

Anders L&oumlvbrand says he's found a steady source of income for 
indigent content providers: ISPs.  

Internet service providers would be worthless without the online 
media they distribute, figures the 26-year-old Swede, yet content 
providers aren't getting a fair slice of the revenue pie they help 
bake.  

[...]  

The idea behind L&oumlvbrand's company TRIC, which stands for "true 
revenue for Internet content," is this: Online media band together in 
a united front to force ISPs to pay for distributing their material. 
Using proprietary software, TRIC will filter out ISPs that refuse to 
pay up.  

Customers of non-conforming ISPs will get an "access denied" message 
similar to this when they surf to a TRIC site, along with links to 
ISPs that do have access to the content.
