Pirate bay sets up the deal by giving you the ability to go to their site and search for the torrents. They then hand the thief the keys by allowing them to download the torrent.

pirate Bay is hosting the torrent files.. They are handing out the keys for the thief's to steal the products.. With out the torrent files no one can download a torrent.
You obviously do not understand how torrents work.

The Pirate Bay = Valet
Illegal Files = Car
Torrent File = Map that points to where the keys are kept

All TPB hosts are files with instructions on where to download the illegal files.

Perhaps the most complicated portion of this legal debate is the fact that although Bittorrent indexes and trackers provide means to receive and send copyrighted data between users, they do not host any copyrighted materials, and no copyrighted materials ever transverse these trackers or indexers.
