Hmmm... I couldn't figure it out. Clue me in via PM!

I think this is a pretty cool move performed by these guys. I wonder what the legal repercussions are going to be...

Most likely none because they are in Sweden, and the piracy laws there are a joke by american standards. They don't have copyright like we do.

I believe they DO have laws against computer hacking and hijacking websites, though. Don't they?

Erh. Bull****. We just don't have any laws preventing you from linking to copyrighted material. Which is what Pirate Bay does.
