Not looking to get into this debate, but the sites were shut down for streaming, not for selling things.

They had 'non-licensed sections' which others have, that also allowed downloads and sold software to manage the download, to watch movies recorded from theaters that had thumb prints embedded in the movies showing these sites were the stream of the original source of the piracy based on location of the operators. So it wasn't user uploaded and wasn't licensed as well.
They were shut down for counterfeiting. Not the other forms of piracy.
