I just found out that there are no juries in Sweden, so this will make it difficult to win. But then again, the judges are elected, so they may be tempted to find for the pirate bay.
Really, the judge doesn't know what the hell a torrent is. And now neither does the prosecutor. The only people who know what they are doing are the people who are on trial. So whatever the pirate bay is going to say, the judge will believe them. It's not like there is going to be anybody there capable of disputing anything that they say.
I think that they can use a good argument - their service is legal. They distribute torrents that don't contain copyrighted materials. They aren't checking the content of the torrents. And they are not the ones uploading the torrents. Their users are uploading torrents, and some of those torrents have legal content in them. So the pirate bay is only providing a service.
