"There is no infringement in providing access in a good-faith belief that the content is legit."

I don't believe that is true. Content distribution is a complicated affair. Redistribution of content is not as easy as saying "well if site xyz has the right to distribute it, so do I"

The argument also hinges on the idea that the operator has "good-faith belief that the content is legit".

Stating that you have this good faith belief is not actually the same thing as having it.

Not to mention that even having it doesn't mean anything at all.

Or, well, it make not make it "willingly infringement", but it still makes it infringement.
