No, it exists to allow its users to link to files they want to share, something which has apparently been deemed legal in their country of operation. If their users are linking infringing files is it TPB's responsibility or is it the users? As I linked to earlier, Viacom is still convinced that YouTube is dedicated to infringement, I would hate to see how that case would have gone if YouTube was not allowed to state their case, and Dajaz1.com's domain was seized and held for over a year with no court hearing at all at the behest of the RIAA. This is why cases like these need to be decided in a true adversarial court hearing where both sides get to have their say.
