I certainly would like to see some hosting companies get raided. If the ones who blatantly ignore pirated content start getting some unwanted attention, then the ones who pretend to care about pirated content will begin to care more and take steps to ensure their own survival.
If hosts were raided then it's pretty much guaranteed that law enforcement will fuck up and remove the servers of innocent parties. It would destroy the host but it would also seriously affect many other businesses who rely on that host being up.

Side thought... they must have a nice pipe in Sweden if they can host 65TB of content from an apartment...
