The Pirate Bay will win in the end
The courts in Sweden, after reading the ruling in it's entirety, basically totally IGNORED the law in question at the time of the accusations against the Pirate Bay owners, and used the NEW law they have now as the basis for their ruling.

That is ILLEGAL. You have to use the law at the time of your offense, not the law that is passed years later!
