The blogger Anders Svensson's texts were plagiarized in the popular true crime podcast Swedish murder stories and later also in a book with the same title.

Now he has reported to the police everyone who was involved in publishing his texts without source reference or permission.

Including the radio giant Bauer Media, which provided the podcast on its platform Radioplay.

The podcast had more than 100,000 listens a week and was the largest of its kind in Sweden.

"Can go there"

Law professor and copyright expert Sanna Wolk believes that Bauer Media may be convicted.

- Bauer Media are not the ones who commit the copyright infringement, it is the podcast itself.

On the other hand, we have a liability for participation that can be counted as an indirect copyright infringement.

So Bauer Media can go there for the responsibility of participation, she says.

"Important for copyright"

Whether the case will be taken to court is unclear.

But Sanna Wolk believes that it is in principle important that Anders Svensson made a report.

- For copyright, it is important.

Large amounts of copyrighted material are online or used in various ways without permission.

And this undermines the authors' right to be paid for what they have created and own, says Sanna Wolk.
