Explain to me the real world example of someone "telling you to go out and kill other people".

And remember... Downloading copyrighted music, copyrighted movies, and copyrighted images is not against the law. It is only copyright infringement if the person who downloads it is not authorized to copy/view it.
Of course we can't find guns shops that say "buy a guy and then go kill someone" and they for sure don't tell you how to do it, that's the point - it's illegal. These sites/services are telling the visitors how/what/where of it all.

It's not about downloading, the problem is distributing it - which isn't a very clear cut thing.

The only thing that is going to save these guys asses in the future is very active/progressive filtering of copyrighted material. Not just removing it, filtering it so it can't come back. And that's in the law!
