What these fools were attempting to do is use the letter of the law to skirt the intent of the law. Glad it didn't work.
In any case, what if they opened up a website called "crackbay.com" and let others distribute crack cocaine via that site? Would that be okay too, because, hey - they aren't the ones actually distributing the drug?

Distributing crack is illegal in most countries, having torrent tracker isnt. That's the difference. My guess is, that the pair wont go to jail. And if the "justice" really prevails, they will be announced not-guilty. They havent done anything wrong by the swedes law AFAIK. It's the pressure from the big companies and the fact that the officials cant do nothing about it that drives them to "make their own laws" and handing out sentences that are based on nothing at all.
IF the 2 guys are found guilty in every court they can appeal to, then it is obvious that it is the pressure from the companies that did it i.e. not fair trial and then I personally will promiso to myself to never ever buy anything anymore. If they can bend the law, so can I.
