Actually not, but even IF that were true, scissors have no problem entering
someone's chest, if that's where you jam them. That doesn't make scissors
criminal. In fact, Google does NOT "point you to where you can download a
pirate torrent", they don't index torrents at all. Google will tell you which web
pages have the words you entered, nothing more, nothing less. They index
all web pages so you can find any web page you want. Pirate bay doesn't
index any web pages - Pirate Bay, as their name makes clear, provides
links and other tools for one purpose and one purpose only - theft.
That's why lock picks and other certain tools designed purely for the
purposes of bypassing security systems are illegal without a license, in
most places, while scissors are legal. Lock picks are designed for a
purpose which is generally illegal, while scissors are generally used for
legal purposes. Pirate Bay exists purely to facilitate piracy - theft.
Google exists to facilitate surfing the web.
