Can a road be used for good? Yes
Can a road be used for crime? YesCan DragonBox be used legally? Yes
Can DragonBox be used illegally? YesChange out road with car. Same result.
It's the person committing the crime, not the object.
Let's take your example 1 step further.
Can a gun be used for good? Yes
Can a gun be used for bad? YesCan a gun kill a person? No
Can a person wielding a gun kill a person? YesIf you make a gun easier to wield, then it's easier for people to be killed.
yet guns aren't illegal.
But selling stolen weapons is illegal!
NOT the same thing at all.
Nothing inside the DragonBox is illegal. Not one thing (that we know of).
That box might be full of heroin, you don't know!
Maybe in your house!

Dragonbox isn't selling stolen content. Irrelevant.
You're right, its selling easy access to stolen content.
No, it's no more easy access than Windows or Ubuntu provides, or uTorrent or whatever.
But easy access isn't stealing.

The offset to this is that the box maker is selling a product, and has almost certainly shown the intention of enabling people to steal.
That is the issue. Any conflation of that fact is just putting rose colored glasses on.

That they are marketing it to criminals isn't illegal either. Nothing they are actually doing is illegal. Nothing at all, until a criminal manually makes/tells it to.

Promoting an act of crime (inciting violence etc) is as much a crime as performing the act yourself.

But there are laws in place which exist to prevent theft. IE Laws which state if I plan to break into your house, that just the act of planning it means I can go to prison.
Same thing here, it's planned that the device can do illegal things, thus makes this worth taking to court.
