What do you mean technically, it's the court, where the judgement is final, and what they say stands.

You can also disagree with a decision a court has made. (Example: 'murica's response to the supreme court's decision not many days ago)
The case was more or less dismissed on a technicality, they couldn't prove the 4 were involved during the period that where they (whoever "they" is) had evidence that TPB was allegedly breaking the law, so they had to dismiss the case.
I guess it could be similar to catching Al Capone on tax evasion charges and the IRS realizing they did actually get a tax form from him right before he gets sentenced.

Technically, proof that the accused could not have done it is not a technicality.
The site had been sold off five years prior, and one of the accused was in prison at the time.
