FedEx was created, and is run, with the intent of facilitating completely legal activity. They're not going to examine your packages for legality, but there is an intent and presumption of innocence & legality. That a few people abuse the system for illicit purposes in no way warrants shutting down 99.99% legal activity. It's not like the founders started with "hey, let's make a dope distribution network...wow, we can make some money moving legit content too!".
MegaUpload was created, and is run, with the intent of facilitating known illegal activity. Offshore servers just to avoid jurisdictional issues, public behavior (right down to their license plates) from top-level executives radiating illegal intent, and obvious public knowledge that the main use is outright IP piracy. That a few people use the system for legitimate purposes in no way justifies leaving the system up. It's not like the founders started with "hey, let's make an unlimited-file-size sharing service for businesses...wow, we can make some money moving illegal content too!"
Hezbollah doesn't get a pass just because they provide social services.
