    What part of "taking the law into your own hands" you missed ?
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Well according to swedish law, TPB is legal since torrent files don't fall under the copywrite laws so it's ok to share torrent files. The actual copywrited material is on a different server which has nothing to do with TPB set up by whoever uploaded the torrent.
    Using torrents files however are illegal naturally but TPB can't be held accountable for that.
    It's kinda like selling CD-burners but you aren't allowed to use it.
    So TPB aren't stealing anything according to our laws(which is something these companies have great difficulty in understanding). I can promise you that if TPB did something illegal then they would have shut it down years ago but because of the "loophole" they can't touch it.
    But hacking and sabotaging a legal website is however a crime here.
