The technical aspect of this case is not what's important and they would easily go free if the court only took the technical aspects (how bit-torrent works) into consideration
but that's not how it works in a court of law.
It's their
intent of the website and nothing else. They have been found guilty because of the
intent. And their intent is quite obvious - to make it easy for people to share copyrighted materials, and it's not really to their advantage the way they've handled the emails from all the different companies. It makes their intent even more obvious.

If you understand this, then you also understand that they can never be found "not guilty". All they can hope for in the upcoming trials is to have their jail sentance removed and maybe pay less $ in damages.
