In short. It's illegal to download copyrighted material in Sweden.

Note that it doesn't matter where the person you are downloading from is located. E.g. UK law will apply if you download from a Swedish site while you are in UK. Swedish law only applies if you are in Sweden when you download.

A Swede who is cought downloading will most likely get sued and will have to pay large fines.

There are some exceptions. E.g. you are allowed to make copies of music that you have bought and share it with close friends.
