They had a long run, and I'm not entirely sure it's over. This'll be fun to watch.

They're going to lose this battle whether they like it or not. (the anti piracy, opensource, etc. crowd)

Its going to be really hard to do anything to them, what they were doing wasn't actually illegal.

On the other hand, it all comes down to $$.
Whoever is waving the $$ will win this particular fight. Piratebay will win this time, donations for legal battles will come in droves if necessary.
