Ars Technica reports that the Swedish prosecutors sent 4000 pages of legal documentation pertaining to the suit against popular Swedish BitTorrent tracker, The Pirate Bay. That's a lot of text to read; as Peter Sunde - one of the admins at Pirate Bay - claims, "the second-biggest murder case in Sweden had 1,500 pages of documentation."

It's obvious that the prosecutors are trying to scare Sweden's most popular pirates into submission, but they will have none of it. "I'm quite sure we won't be convicted anyhow," Sunde said in an interview to Ars Technica today. "[If we are], we'll just appeal all the way to the European Union court. So in five years time this might be settled."

You, our dear readers, seem to agree with Sunde; in a recent poll here at Mashable, 69% of you were certain that The Pirate Bay will continue to happily serve torrents in the wake of this adversity. Time will tell if you were right, but despite everyone's current optimism, history has shown that these cases often end up badly for the little guy.
