Sticking a finger to a takedown notice

Some Swedish folks who are running a BitTorrent tracker has received a takedown letter from DreamWorks lawyers saying that according to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), posting the torrent file of the Shrek 2 movie is a copyright infringment. Their response is classic and is a finger to the lawyers.
As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.
...
It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.
I wonder what is the lawyers' reply to this.
