In a completely honest and fair trial those men would have walked away free. They are not guilty of what they were charged with, as simple as that.
Sadly, considering who they were up against a completely fair and honest trial was never going to happen.

free mode, simply disconnect reconnect for new ip then delete cookies, constatn free use
It allowed users to download torrents whose name clearly indicated the contained material was illegal.
They are responsible for the promotion of illegal content, they deserve what they got.
For €4 a month? Yeah, it's a real wrench.

what has them going to jail achieved? All the torrent sites are up still, aren't they? All the links on rapidshare are still there aren't they? All the groups on usenet are still there, aren't they?
What has this sentance achieved?
When are these companies going to realise that all I want is to download my TV shows, automatic, at night, with no adds. I would pay a small fee per month, if it was drm free of course.
Why don't these industries try to come up/use the same system as torrent/usenet. These "questionable" technologies trounce anything else. Why don't they jump on board?
the bbc iplayer was a big step forward, now if it was drm free that would be ace!!

the material contained in .torrent files ISNT copyrighted material, meerly information that allows a Torrent program to know where to download copyrighted material.
What you are trying to argue is that meerly knowing where to download copyrighted files and the act of actually downloading them are both one and the same thing.
For example, I buy a book that tells me how to commit a murder, say for example with a kitchen knife that I own. Does that make the person who wrote the book guilty of murder?
*sigh*
Read what I quoted. Carefully.
Muppets.
Its too early for me for that level of sarcasm....
The truth be told, we all know TPB was operating outside the law, yes, you can try and justify it by saying "But they nevber hosted anything illegal" but that just doesnt cut it.
99.9% of users go there to download content they are not licensed to.
Accept that fact and move on.
The movie/music/game industry needs to change however and hopefully this may encourage that discussion.

The basic purpose of the site was to facilitate illegal activity. I think we all know that. I think we all know the 4 guys are guilty of that.
I'm not sure what the actual charge in Sweden was, but if it was "aiding copyright theft", and that's a crime in Sweden, then of course they were guilty.

That depends. If the book states who you should murder, how you should murder them, when they're in, when they're not in etc, they yes, they would also be guilty of aiding - as TPB are.
If I stand on a street corner and tell kids where to get drugs - is that ok? No.
And for what reason?? oh is it the£9 of profit on a cd of recycled garbage....
I will and do buy cds when their not 1 decent song and generic garbage the other 7 tracks.
Use iTunes.

Morally, its wrong. Legally, yes, you should be fine.
How sure are you about that?
Unless there is a law saying "Aiding the distribution of illegal drugs is illegal". Sweden obviously have some sort of law for "aiding the distribution of copyrighted material without permission"
Why? Do you know where I can get some drugs?
no thanks the quality crap 128bit last time i used them..
i dont download a lot tbh mainly documentories that i cant get hold of for a fair price, music i normally buy as the artist i like done do generic crap, most of the etime.
