The court apparently sees no difference between a site like TPB who refuses to remove any URLs, and a site like Fenopy who removed 75% of the URLs reported as infringing on someone's copyright.
Indeed. And then there's the classic case of search engines - you could argue that they allow piracy as well, you can find torrents there for illegal material.
