I'm sure most of you are already current with this, but I thought I'd put it up for discussion and comments.

This is a big thing over here as well it seems. I mean I found more articles about it on local newspaper then of the recent plane crash.
Anyway half of the charges are dropped, evidence are weak and there is one very important factor that lobbyists in USA have forgotten:
Sweden has for the latest 60 years been the biggest anti-USA country in western Europe. Just mentioning the raid on piratebay as a result from the pressure of companies based in USA will wake up nationalistic feelings of the jury members. That means if they make clear hints on why this case was brought up to begin with, they may indirectly make the jury feel that this is USA vs Sweden thing in which case they will not be found guilty.
Also this may be the breaking point for the Pirate party and all of it's supporters to press for less surveillance and more freedom on the internet. That is of course if they are found not guilty, which will be the result unless all jury members are bribed by the MPAA.
