Seemingly is the correct word as the case was not a criminal case against the operators of The Pirate Bay. I would be a lot less uncomfortable if the site were blocked after a criminal investigation was conducted and The Pirate Bay had the opportunity to speak in their own defense.

This isn't an easy case unfortunately because of the worldwide nature of the web, and the obvious difficulty in prosecuting people in the UK because of a website based in Sweden. That said though, I don't think the answer to those difficulties is website blocking.
