This is wrong. I thought we were talking about the pirate bay trial here. They tried to check if it was legal or not to have a link collection and they got the answer that it was and I really think they honestly believed that and still believe that (the case is not decided yet since a sentence in lower court does not give a precedent). What these people do outside of pirate bay does not matter in the same way that the fact that millions of people commit copyrigt infringement regularly does not affect the legality of their daytime job.
