Incitement, though I think that only applies to crimes of violence.

Aiding and abetting - well, the poster abets and the fact that they sell
the materials to be copied probably suffices to qualify as aiding.  I
believe this applies to pretty much any criminal offence, but I'm not
clear on its application to civil offences.  Is copyright violation
covered by criminal statutes yet ?
