Analogy time!
If you have a person committing crimes with a knife and the organization that supports the victims decides to go after the owner of the shop who sold the knife, I would say that they are doing something wrong.

For one thing, that isn't the only shop that sells knives, and for another, even if selling knives would be illegal, crimes could still be committed with other sharp objects. It doesn't solve any problems.
To make the knife store analogy a little more accurate you should change it to something like this.

The Pirate Bay is like a shop that sells knives and then tells you: "look, now take that knife to the second floor, they have a jewelry store there you can rob, we even provide a special back entrance for you. And nobody has ever been caught since they don't have surveillance video". You should add that the name of the store is 'Knives for Crimes', to keep out the cooks and other pesky customers.

To make the analogy even more fitting, you could say the store has a great number of monitors showing video links to places that are easy to rob.
