With a sign that points out where people are trading files. Is that guy breaking the law? No. Are the people down street A trading legal file B breaking the law? No. Are the people down street C trading legal file D breaking the law? The ones taking the file without rights to it ARE. THOSE people specifically are the ones breaking the law.
tony even a someone with a 4th grade reading and comprehension level would get that your arguement has nothing to do with what he said.

The problem tony is that the same swarm that has someone "illegally" sharing, has lots of people sharing legally (timeshifting, backup, recovery) which is the point. The pirate bay is doing nothing wrong by pointing out the swarm, only the guys abusing the swarm are guilty of a crime.
