In the case of a site like Megaupload, the site is hosting the files. It isn't like a forum where they just host message and links to things. Megaupload is genuinely distributing the material. The question is whether they had reason to know about all the illegal material they were distributing on the behalf of users and whether they made any significant efforts to be in the business of only distributing legal materials.
