> In other words they don't now what they are talking about. Thepiratebay is not putting up any files on thepiratebay.org, the users are (of course nothing is even uploaded, only seeded from user to user).

If someone were to say in conversation "Yeah, I downloaded Casablanca from Pirate Bay last night," would you immediately reply, "You don't know what you're talking about! You didn't download it from Pirate Bay, but from dozens of different peers, idiot!"

You must be fun at parties.

(And while we're nitpicking, torrents certainly do involve "uploads" and "downloads". Get your pedantry straight.)

No I wouldn't, but this is not a party so you're making a really weird comparison. This is about an organisation with great power in Sweden that tries to stop piracy, they should know what they are talking about. Let me make a comparison instead; saying that The pirate bay uploads illegal files to their site is like saying that google uploads thousands of porn sites and torrents to their site, when they are just uploading links. Should google stop displaying links to thepiratebay, streaming sites and Bittorrent and god knows what?
