By saying that Racknine was "willfully ignorant" you are making the assumption that they knew an illegal act was taking place and that they chose to ignore it. Care to justify that theory? or do you think that they should be monitoring every message being sent out and editing out anything that could be deemed illegal, offensive, annoying, etc.?

I believe you're only telling half the story about the file sharing. Certainly there were sites that did exactly as you describe however there absolutely were other sites that did nothing more than provide software that enabled peer to peer file sharing then simply looked the other way.
I'd ask you NOT to put words in my mouth. Willfully ignorant does not mean that RackNine knew. Willfully ignorant could mean anything from not caring what clients did with their service to meaning RackNine couldn't be bothered to put reasonable measures in place to prevent abuse despite knowing that their service could be abused. No one is entitled to turn a blind eye.
I'm not trying to say RackNine is the main culprit here. But I won't buy the suggestion that they're pure as the driven snow either. Obviously the investigation should focus on who ordered the calls and who executed the calls.
