honestly this is only making their site more popular

people read the story about how xyz is suing pirate bay because they are giving away abc content
and thousands of people who had no idea about the site go over there to get the free content.

the more stupid content producers continue to try and get a foreign company to obey US laws the more popular the pirate bay gets.

it like that chadlaw lawyer here who was trying to claim the berne convention required foreign companies comply with DMCA notifications when all it does is recognize the validity for the laws where the copyright protection is claimed .

" states that the copyright law of the country where copyright is claimed shall be applied"

you should be suing them in sweden the problem is that there is no contributory infringement in sweden and the torrent file does not include any of the copyrighted material.
