The main sites that have shut down, Megaupload, Filesonic, etc. are the ones that had almost entirely illegal content. Of course there was legitimate filesharing going on but it was/is a tiny portion compared to the illegal content, that is the exact opposite of this case where almost all of Racknines users are legitimate and we are hearing about a rare illegal occurence.

I guess that depends on what you consider to be "reasonable measures". Do you expect them to be filtering the content of their users? Are they supposed to approve all messages before they are sent? Who gets to decide what is an acceptable message?
