There'll be plenty of cases when the content is inherently infringing. Cam copies, for example. Additionally, if there's a jurisdiction where a DVD rip of Dora The Explorer is not considered a fair use, they may start pounding Mega to limit this jurisdiction's access to the file. This sort of thing.

True, and it seems that Mega's copyright infringement reporting page[1] has an option for that:

Takedown Type: Remove all underlying file(s) of the supplied URL(s) - there is no user who is permitted to store this under any circumstance worldwide

[1] https://mega.co.nz/#copyrightnotice

Oh, nice. This is so tongue-in-cheek. There's no way of knowing the state of any permission worldwide.
