Here is an example for you to get your head around. Have you ever seen those big spools of copper cable that utilities leave sitting on the side of the road while they are doing work?
If someone comes to me and says "Hey... do you know where I can get one of those big spools of copper cable without paying for it?" and I point them to one... I am guilty of criminal conspiracy.
Here is another: If you come to me and say "Hey... do you know where I can buy some cocaine?" and I refer them to a dealer... I am guilty of conspiracy to deliver cocaine.
Here is the fun part... it doesn't matter if someone goes and steals the copper cable or buys the cocaine. I am still guilty of criminal conspiracy.
Now... if Isohunt is linking to torrent that they know allow someone to download illegally obtained copyrighted materials... that is Conspiracy to Commit Copyright Infringement due to Aiding and abetting a criminal offense.
