On top of what raganwald said, the difference between IFLS and Reddit is that this is a curated stream done by one person, rather than an aggregation of user-generated content.
Reddit is morally different, since arguably you cannot hold them directly responsible for content generated by their users, they are strictly a conduit.
Similarly, we don't blame Facebook when their users post pirated content, we rightly blame the individual who pirated it in the first place.
You're right though, this isn't different than a curated stream of pirated content (e.g., many other Facebook groups), but as raganwald said, the fact that we can't catch them all doesn't mean it's wrong to catch one.
