I admit I was sloppy in phrasing it that way. Clearly the owners of the
Pirate Bay got in lots of trouble and lost the lawsuit against them after
spending much money.
Whether it's appealed is pretty irrelevant to the point of whether it serves
as a chilling effect on others.
"Taken down" is American slang for "being arrested and convicted", you see.
As in, "you're going down, expletive!"

Um, no? I think copyright law is screwed up nowadays, given digital copying
and given active content (e.g., software that enforces its own licenses).
