That's another thing that's often missing in these conversations about right, wrong, Hollywood studios etc. That site was a large distributor of Swedish films. If you go on pirate bay for example, of course there is a lot of US software, US movies and so on, but a huge % of their torrents are Swedish, Dutch, German books, movies, software, music, tv shows etc etc as well and its not a "USA, Hollywood studio" problem. It's an EU problem as well.
