Congratulations somehow seem in order (hence the thumbs up?).

But with what? That justice has been served?

The lives of a couple people are probably ruined. (though I have no idea just how paying 110 million in damages would work out in reality)
The small percentage of the money that they manage to actually pay in damages will probably never see the hands of any of the creators of the shared works.
In the years that they were sueing TorrentSpy, at least twenty new torrent-search-sites have come into being, distributing way more than torrent spy ever did.

yup, congratulations are in order. Justice has been served.
Now if only we could make all the ISP's filter, listen in, read, and control all of our internet traffic, and sue everybody for some more billions, the world would be a much better place.
