THOSE people specifically are the ones breaking the law.

A better analogy would be TPB is a guy who has a building on the corner. Inside the building he has maps that lead to stolen property which he hands out for free. People come from all over to ENTER his building to receive directions to stolen property. This free service he provides is wildly popular and creates a huge traffic flow in and out of his building. He is able to capitalize on the traffic by selling other products. His business is based on his ability to create attention by offering maps to stolen property.
