It was a local court decision. The laws are more less the same within Europe and Pirate Bay could avoided same liability. But they didn't.
There are also examples of ISPs who have followed up voluntary based on local court decisions that was directed originally to other ISPs. The reason was to avoid same court process, because there were already established precedent. Other services, like youtube, can block access based on geographical visits.
Btw, you can still break a law in another country and have something ruled against you, even if you
remotely operated within that jurisdiction.
