well considering that the police tried and failed to convict them of direct copyright infringement (see documentary
steal this film) it only make sense that they would come after them for the intermediary infringement now.
The problem is that sweden does not contributory infringement laws like the US and intermediary infringement just doesn't have the teeth to do it.
The procecutors are being very selective about what to procecute for if you look at the list of charges every one of the files was for pre-dvd /pre-cd releases.
Music and videos that you could not have a "fair use " right to recover.
so given swedens law it might win, the record association, movie associates will try and misrepresent it as if ALL sharing is illegal, but that will never be a true representation of the law.
of course there is a pretty good chance that the pirate bay will win with the arguement that associate should be targetting the actual direct infringer (the primary seeder) because if that person internet connection was cut off no violations would occur at all.
IF that happens watch out the floodgates will be open, if you thought the explosion of torrent sites that happened after the pirate bay won their first fight with the law was bad imagine how bad it will be when this win happens.
