I'm quite certain that pirated materials are no where near the top of the list of things searched for using Google. I'm pretty sure that "lyrics" and "myspace" leads the pack.

In any case, this isn't anything like the situation with gun manufacturers. Of course no one but the shooter is responsible for the use of the gun. But, what if, say, the dealer explicitly implied that the guns they sell should be used for illegal purposes?

That wouldn't be legal. And that's what Pirate Bay did. You all DID know the site was founded by an anti-copyright group, right?
