Napster and other filesharing services have been taken down just for listing content, they didn't share the data themselves. But they still got shutdown and other services have been shutdown for the same thing. TPB has only last this long because they are in Sweden.

I already said it was an off the wall analogy.
But, you're off in your interpretation of TPB. There isn't anything illegal on the website, the website is not promoting anything illegal, none of the torrent files are illegal, there is no copyright infringement taking place, and none of the documents/files are even illegal.
It's only illegal once someone has downloaded a file, which they do not own rights to. THEN and only then, THAT person and only that person - have broken the law.
Let's say you go to TPB right now, you look up some software. Like, Adobe. That isn't illegal, it isn't piracy. It's only illegal, and only piracy if someone completes the download of the file onto their computer and do not own rights to it.
It's not really that complicated or hard to understand.
