It only makes them illegal if they operated in the US (which they do not).

WHAT THE FUCK! Gideon you must have gotten into your parents meds again while they are at work.
TBP not only DOES NOT take anything down ever...they brag about it on their damn website. What was it they posted in that section where they laugh at companies, lawyers, and law? Something like: "never took one down and never will"
Gideon, please stop....I'm laughing so hard my eyes are tearing up. Those guys don't care about any laws. Hell, come to think of it neither do I. I'll break any damn law I can get away with. I'll drive faster than the speed limit. I may even do an illegal substance now and again on a Friday night. And you think those guys sit around like some kind of Saints pondering the law and worrying about being law abiding citizens?
Hell no! They are literally laughing at everybody while they cash those prepaid ad spot checks at the bank. Of course a communist like you would never understand that this is nothing more than greed and capitalism at it's finest. As much as I want to see them stop stealing...I will grudgingly admit that they found a way to make money for a short time.
Not as much as some of the guys I know in this biz who figured out little loopholes to make money. But still a lot. Their time is limited to continue business as is though. So that's why I'm laughing about them having to pay lawyers and waste their time with court. It's taking away money that they are going to wish they had back when they are forced to start taking down almost all those torrents. And you just know that when Swedish law changes to reflect modern times...EVERYBODY is going to demand their shit come down because of them acting like assholes to the industry for the last couple of years.
Right now, the judge there can only interpret the law. When that law changes, he will interpret it to reflect the new law. And there are companies and legal teams just circling those guys licking their chops and waiting for that day.
Guy is pretty smart though. When that time comes, if I were him I'd sell it to one of the big movie companies and get out.
