of course not because there are people in the us who have a right to use the cloud as a timeshifting device
who have a legal right to part of the swarm,
and who the copyright holders refuse to fulfill that right.
So the pirate bay is servicing those people

If you wish to ignore the laws of a country why should you be allowed to use that country to make money, why should you be allowed to advertise US companies to US citizens and be allowed to flout the laws of a country?

simple rule to follow your rights end the second my begin.
i have a right to be governed by my countries laws
the people within that country have a right to all the benefits the courts have given them (timeshifting to a cloud)
you have a right to earn an exclusive right earn a profit from your content, except for fair use.
So what solution meets all those conditions, does not violate anyones rights.
Send the pirate bay a Take down request that is complient with swedish laws.
Period.

And cost other companies in that country billions in lost revenue?
The problem is the law makers have still not got to grip with the Internet. They make laws that govern their citizens while allowing citizens in other countries to flout the laws and STILL PROFIT by doing so.
Why should it be "This is the Internet so I'm free to do as I wish."?
Or should it be that as they don't block US traffic, don't exclude US companies from advertising, include US citizens in their Torrent links they should comply with US law. Or get their site blocked?
It's people like TPB who will bring about draconian laws and then idiots will blame the law makers, not the law breakers.

i blame the greedy, stupid copyright holders who
1. don't use the technology, and provide their customers the fair use rights granted by the courts (set up a private tracker)
2. or send take down request complient with the countries laws.
