WOW WOW WOW 
That's some fucked up logic. However, under the current fucked up laws they may actually have some ground for such claims.

you want to show where they said "we know that the this stuff is stolen"
it could be fair use (access shifting/ backup recovery/timeshifting) , authorized, or , a mislabelled file to get traffic, or infringing.
in all four cases they are not profiting from it directly, only from providing a service which could be used to infringe .
You don't hold the vcr responsible for the people who use it to make bootleg copies.
Same principle applies here.
