Those were not shutdown for "enabling" criminal activity. They were shut down for actually doing criminal activity. With megaupload it was failure to abide by the DMCA, with silk road it was handling money for/from drug dealers. I cannot see how Tor has actually done anything criminal beyond what a thousand other transitory service providers do every day.

in case of megaupload it was totally ILLEGAL, using bogus charges

According to the internal emails the prosecutors got their hands on, megaupload was paying out to the top uploaders, and megaupload showed knowledge of what the uploads where. I can't stand commercial piracy.
