> Where precisely does it explicitly say on TPB's website that it is "setup for the purpose of finding pirated material." This is simply not relevant. They do not have to explicitly say anything for it to still be indisputable that they are set up primarily to facilitate piracy. > In fact they explicitly state otherwise Nope! The quote you posted only says that they do not store copyrighted material themselves. That is entirely consistent with being set up primarily to facilitate piracy through BitTorrent. In fact, the awareness that your quote suggests of the copyrighted material TPB makes available (note that I'm not saying "storing") is perhaps weak evidence for the opposite conclusion: they know that they're promoting piracy, but think they can get away with it because they aren't actually storing the files. (They are, of course, completely wrong. You can intentionally facilitate piracy without actually pirating works yourself. Remember Napster and LimeWire?)
