I don't understand what is funny about that? "download copyrighted content" is a statement so unspecific it basically applies to almost all networked applications.

Since you said "help" it gets even worse, because it now includes all software that facilitates networking without performing networking.

For example, a terminal emulator or bash are software that "helps people download copyrighted content" even though neither of them have anything to do with networking or downloading.

I'm really struggling to laugh.
