    "facilitated copyright infringement"?
    Like the postal system "facilitates" the distribution of stolen goods?
    Or like telephones "facilitate" racist conversations?
    Or like cameras "facilitate" child pornography?

    Anything useful can be used to "facilitate" bad actions.

    When lawyers start using their mealy-mouthed phrases to twist the English language to their own purpose, it rarely serves justice.

    The thing is its obvious what is being shared, if the files were not named then it would be a different matter.
