A .ac mirror should to be coming up. We'll see if this has the desired effect or is just another whack-a-mole effort.

Will be interesting to see if this will influence the Swedish parliament reelection in march.

Honestly, I think the pirate bay getting busted would be a good thing, as it would probably lead to the creation of more distributed, robust filesharing platforms.

The actual bulk data distribution is already quite P2P; the only remaining centralized part is the part that distributes the magnet hashes.

I thought file sharing was recognized as a religion in Sweden.

Could anyone care to explain how this works?

Yes it is, kopimism is a recognized religion. But it is a minority religion treated quite badly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary_Church_of_Kopimism

I'm pretty sure you can actually download the magnet links as an archive, which shouldn't be too big either.
