The argument could be made for any web site.

Dropbox does not specifically encourage, promote or support the sharing of licensed content, moreover, they work with authorities where there is a problem. And of course, their 'boxes' tend not to designed for widespread public use. They are not hiding out in a jurisdiction wherein they can evade legal issues.

Obviously the definition for 'the line' that is crossed is going to be difficult, but it has to be somewhere.

I don't have huge faith that the American legal system is going to do well on this issue for thus single case, however, it's going to have to work it out over time.

As cases make it to the Supreme Court, hopefully there will be more clarity.

AFAIK, Megaupload did not promote our encourage sharing of licensed content. It just filled that niche better than any other site at the time.

Kim Dotcom may have chosen New Zealand for to evade legal issues, but I see nothing wrong with that. If you don't agree with one nation's laws, that is a perfectly valid reason to live elsewhere. He didn't just run his business there, he lives there.

You can’t really use Dropbox for that because they’ll disable access to files that cause too much bandwidth usage.
