Well actually, that's kind of the question. Because in almost all countries, it's actually illegal not to do every reasonable thing in your power to stop someone from breaking the law if you are
- aware of what they are doing
- are in a position to stop them or try to stop them.
As far as I understand, the laws about this vis-a-vis copyright in sweden have been eroded somewhat by various precedents, which is what has made it so hard to build a case against TPB.
In any other country, they would have been stretched on a rack and flogged senseless by the RIAA long before now.
