Ok.  Can a person such as another blogger aid and help a criminal by posting a link to a known criminal's blog lawfully, knowing that criminal is using stolen and copyrighted material?  
Of course. But is that aiding and abetting a thief in a criminal act?  And that answer is yes.  Can a person that helps a criminal commit a crime that causes harm and injury to the owner of copyrighted material, be held liable as a third party defendant in a civil case.  And that is yes also.
For example, assume the criminal that steals my stuff and posts that on a web site called Life in Southern Johnson County http://sojoco.blogspot.com/and another blogger at http://jocosob.blogspot.com/ allows and creates a link to that site, the one that links to the thief, might just be aiding and abetting a criminal in a violation of law and can be held seperately, or equally liable in a court of law for any relief/remedy awarded by a judge.
So be careful out there, fellow bloggers.  Do not link to those bloggers that steal others copyrighted material.  Unless you like to take the risk of going to a court of law and explaining why to some judge.
