The Pirate Bay: Here to stay?

I missed this story a while back, from Wired News: The Pirate Bay: Here to Stay?

To international observers, The Pirate Bay's defiant immunity from copyright lawyers is somewhat baffling. But in Sweden, the site is more than just an electronic speak-easy: It's the flagship of a national file-sharing movement that's generating an intense national debate, and has even spawned a pro-piracy political party making a credible bid for seats in the Swedish parliament.

Sorry I was wrong, they had backups going the next day outside of Sweden. Two days after that they were back in Sweden. Hackers, not associated with TPB shut down swedish police's website.
I think they actually are here to stay.
