It is the correct case, but the "promoting" might be a bit of an translation issue. They were found guilty of aiding and enabling infringement, but as I describe above, not for any specific infringement of a specific work but rather the act of infringement in a general sense.
There has been cases where "enabling" infringement been argued by US prosecutors, but I don't know what the legal status of that argument is. I have heard lawyers argue that nothing in copyright law explicitly forbid enabling, but that was mostly around the time of 2010.
