You can't really talk about legal implications and pretend that intent doesn't matter at all. It's rarely a big part of the equation but it's never completely absent.

My claim is only that the hashes are not subject to copyright. Not that hosting them with the purpose of facilitating piracy is legal.

My guess is that in this context the hash is claimed to be comparable to a link.
