Usually when you put "geeks" on the stand, they immediately spill their guts, making the conviction trivial. (Example: Hans Reiser.) In this case, the defendants always have a clever reply for the prosecutor's "clever" question, which is making the prosecution's case extremely difficult. (Also making the case difficult is the silliness of the law, and the innocence of the defendants.)
My guess is that TPB has a really good legal team that prepared the TPB folks for all of the prosecution's questions. That is also good to see. Usually the people with worthy causes don't have enough money to defend themselves from the Big Bad Corporations, but in this case they do.
Finally, the prosecutor(s?) don't seem very competent about anything. The quote yesterday about DHT and being able to distribute torrents via e-mail seemed to really confuse them. (You mean TPB isn't actually making copyrighted files available? Damn, there goes our whole case!)
Maybe things are different in Sweden, but under common law that's pretty difficult, especially in copyright where some situations have never been tested in court. A lot of lawyers were going around saying that Grokster was obviously legal while others were saying it was obviously illegal. IANAL.
