I have been watching this case throughout the trial. I found it particularly interesting that they found the usage of bittorrent itself to be illegal. I'd be interested to hear how they can justify that and wonder what that means for any torrent site now.

And, if the big yahoos think that they are going to shut down filesharing, they are sadly mistaken. There are sooooo many private sites to get the material at. And anytime you close a site like TPB (which actually is not being closed - there was nothing in the verdict to say they had to close it), there are several more that pop right up. I've seen that happen with every torrent site that's been closed down. They just go underground.
