I have nothing against people pirating, I've downloaded some tv shows and anime in the past so I would be a hypocrite if I bashed people for it, but I think The Pirate Bay is a very real and dangerous threat to many companies.
The site is now ranked 136 for popularity on Alexa and it'll likely break into the top 100 before long. It's gaining users at an alarming rate and I think if it's allowed to continue that it will eventually force Sweden as well as many other countries to clamp down hard on piracy and end up hurting everyone's freedom and privacy on the Internet.
We have it very good on the Internet and unfortunately like everything else a few idiots are going to push and take things too far and ruin it for everyone.
