From the actual documents it would seem the owners of the site have committed crimes, not just hosting pirated content.

SOPA and PIPA are something to be worried about, a website who's owners actually seemed to be making money of piracy is not.
We still have to see what they will be declared guilty of. Some of the charges - eg "not identifying and removing EVERY other upload of the same infriging material as in the given link from their servers" - could cause very inconvenient precedence to be established for similar cases in the future.
