Morally speaking, it's a laudable use case to spread knowledge.

But one could make the argument that this site is technically an example of "crime", at least legally speaking.

The moment you start letting laws define your morals, you have lost what it means to be human.
As some flavor of libertarian, I understand the concept of the NAP (non-aggression principle) and make the distinction between morality and legality and would like to have a different definition of "crime". That said, as we operate under a legal system that is forced on us, we do have to make references to the legislation that exists.
