A Swedish court on Tuesday handed down the country's first Internet piracy conviction, fining a man $2,000 for using a file-sharing network to distribute a movie online.

The entertainment industry hailed the verdict as a first step toward stricter enforcement of copyright laws in Sweden, which has been criticized as a safe haven for online piracy.
