1) Thepiratebay's blog is also covered, thus making it impossible for them to state their case to the people. Effectively their voice is censored by the ban.
2) Thepiratebay isn't illegal in Sweden. Banning something that isn't illegal borders on totallitarian.
It's not banned by the Danish state but by the Danish ISP's.
The piratebay is not illagel in Sweden (yet) in the sense that last time there was a court case about the legality of linking to copyrighted material it was found to be legal. I think this was in 1995 or something.
If The Piratebay is found illegal then the ISP's will not go after the site but they will go after ISP's and force them to block the URL like they have in Denmark
