Gideon, the pirate bay was clearly operating in a very grey area at best, but the way they conducted themselves was just inviting trouble. Flouting the law and the very people they were accused of stealing from is just stupid. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but that's the way the world works. If you want to steal from the man, you better stay out of his cross hairs.
The funny thing is, if they kept a lower profile and didn't get caught up in their own phony crusade and bullshit, they would have never been brought to court.
I honestly think that all the freedom talk and liberty talk started as a spin move, but they ended up falling for it themselves the more it grew.
