You had me right up until you claimed Dotcom was in the same situation. They (kim and his mega employees) knew they were hosting infringing content and intentionally did everything they could to avoid removing it. For instance, one common tactic was deleting referring URLs to content without deleting the actual files so that it would be easy for users to just create a new link to the file without having to re-upload it.

THAT isn't just innocent "we don't want to know", that's intentionally infringing. I have absolutely no love for the MAFIAA and their ilk, but let's not pretend Dotcom was some sort of martyr.

A fairly insightful article on the whole affair: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/us-unveils-the-ca...
