In the end the whole issue is a drop of water on a hot stone but truly, even if the guys do not end up having to pay the fine, and don't go to jail, I still agree with the government. Having dragged them to court may really just be symbolic but I do believe that we will see more cases like this in the future and I can not say I feel sorry for people getting what is coming to them.

Because bottomline is you don't steel from others, be it virtual or real goods makes no difference to me, stealing is against the law and should be punished.

As for jailing the operators of pirate bay being unjust, I really don't think so.
And I kinda see it like them helping to distribute stolen property, in  the US if you do so knowingly that will land you in jail just as much as as stealing the stuff to begin with, and when I lived in Germany and worked there that was the same case and I can not imagine Sweden is much different but I'll ask my friend who works law enforcement in Sweden.
Now I will not believe, not even for one moment that the founders and operators did not know what was being shared on the network, and ignorance is no excuse, they provided a platform for people to meet and commit copyright crimes on and did not cease operations or find a way to ensure that people did not use their site to "fence off stolen goods".

As much this whole trial may be symbolic and we are very very far from a real solution crime should not be condoned nor supported. And to me it doesn't matter if you steal from big companies like EA-Games, Sony Music or Renderosity vendors, someone spent real work into making whatever was stolen and therefor deserve every cent in potential revenue. They also do not deserve to be stolen from at no time. And yes they may not be losing sales because the warezing scumbags never intended to legally purchase the product but stealing is still a crime and they should bring down the hammer much harder and more often.
