Done effectively, both would be equally good at handling piracy, however the first effects far less people than the second, and is far less likely to infringe the rights of citizens. Privacy is a very important issue when it comes to anti piracy methods. This method ensures the privacy of most citizens is protected.
I mean, wasn't it the Swedish police who raided a piratebay warehouse/whatever they use to run their site?

I'm a little puzzled about why you think that this is going to affect Sweden?
