I do not know the details of the case, but I think that if you have a
web site, and its sole purpose is to make copyright violations easier,
you are asking for trouble.
In my view it is a shame that sites like megaupload have gone the same
way, because that was very useful when doing android development. Not
any copyright violation involved at all with Android development, but
it died because the site also had copyright content.
