Anti-piracy group copies Pirate Bay for fake website

Phony Pirate Bay has real copies of pages, style sheets.
Finnish anti piracy group, TTVK, has uploaded a fake Finnish language copy of the Pirate Bay at piraattilahti.fi (literally translates as Pirate Bay). The page has been translated to Finnish, as well as the logo, which shows a pirate ship sinking.

Clicking on any of the links just brings you to an anti-piracy message, linking you to an external source.
What's amusing about the phony page is it copies certain elements 1:1 from the Pirate Bay website in order to dupe Finnish Internet users into believing they are using a localized version of the popular site. The style sheet used by the mock site even starts with the comment, "The Pirate Bay - main style sheet for thepiratebay.se." (See Below)
