Can you find someone guilty of accessory to X without charging/prosecuting someone else of actually committing X? Can you be an accessory to a crime when the crime itself was not tried in court? I don't recall this trial including any of the actual copyright infringers being defendants?
Apparently you can, according to this judge. It sounds awfully weird though.
