Personally I've used Megeupload many times to get entirely legit mods for video games. They were almost certainly engaging in copyright infringement, and if they'd gotten sued for millions of dollars I'd say fair's fair. But that wasn't what happened, instead a frigging SWAT team was sent in to raid their facilities and all their gear was taken, and the they were charged with felonies which they weren't, in fact, guilty of.

Yes they were criminals, but the response was way out of proportion to the crime. Its like some cop is walking down the street, sees someone clearly speeding, and pulls out his gun and tries to shoot out the car's tires. Catching the criminal isn't worth the chance of someone accidentally ending up dead.
