Default Re: Megaupload.com site shut down

How can they be held liable for copyright infringement when they are just a "storage" site for users? If there are any infringements, it should be certain member's liability (those that violate piracy laws), not Megaupload's issue. How is a website to check every upload for copyright violations when members change properties of the uploaded files?
Oh well, hopefully they get all straightened out before having to spend millions in court.
