Concerning the megaupload arrests, to be fair I have since read that the company was caught red handed knowingly making profits from copyright materials. So they got caught being stupid and help the sopa pipa IP lockdown movement.

It's all about what you can prove, and proving that MegaUpload had full knowledge is going to be very difficult.
