Nothing legal about TPB 

Not so sure about that.

They are not hosting anything pirated.
They just provide the links to pirated (and non-pirated) files.

What people do thereafter may or may not be legal.

If TPB is deemed  illegal then so should Google, Bing, Jeeves etc.
They all provide links to pirated (and non pirated) files.

Oh I know, I didn't mean the site is illegal, I meant downloading most of the stuff from it.

Biggles is right. I use Bitlord as my Torrent Host, which is Open Source, meaning anybody can use the softwhere for what ever. There are no warnings on the program that what you are doing is illegal. If the Powers that be deem TPB to be illegal, why don't they go after Bitlord, and others.

I don't know why, but I know people who have received letter's from company's threatening to take them to court,  sue them etc for downloading movies/programs. I doubt it would happen here but it definitely happens in the US and sometimes in the UK.

That said it doesn't stop me downloading stuff.

Edit

TPB has been shutdown a few times, that's why it is always changing it's email address.

Not seen Corrie for a few years. How are Ena Sharpels and Stan Ogden going on. Is Ena still on the Milk Stouts and Stan on the Window Cleaning??

You can't make a p2p program illegal as all it is is a sharing platform that only unlocks (to the average user) something that a pc is capable of doing anyway without it, and that is "sharing".
In theory any programs like bitlord, utorrent etc in an ideal world would be sharing documents that are legal (or that's what they will tell you it was intended for).
However programs that have been shutdown in the past like Limewire were punished because they offered an internal search engine that allowed copyrighted content to be found and downloaded, I think also (though not sure) that they hosted some material.
