That's the whole point of this trial, intent.

Crowbars are not made especially for stealing, if you sold a crowbar under the name break-in-bar and advertised it to thieves, then that would be a different story.

the site is called pirate bay because it's meant for piracy which is illegal and that's one of the reasons they lost the trial AFAIK. Google can also find you links but Google isn't called poirate search and it's primary purpose is certainly not to support piracy and that is why they didn't drag google before a court. so in a way it was the in-your-face attitude which backfired and I must say it invokes some Schadenfreude in me as well.
