The UK court shared the view of the Swedish courts who convicted the operators of the site of "aiding" copyright infringement, even though they don't host any infringing material themselves.

This is not true since the Swedish courts opinion was not for the same thing as the UK courts opinion. So they did not share a view. It seems to me that the Swedish courts would not have convicted the current instantiation of Pirate Bay.
