There is no double standard. Megaupload didn't go down because they had "an" illegal file on their server. They went down because they were purposely not removing know copyright content from their servers after being made aware of it, purposely misleading copyright owners by keeping the content and issuing new URLs. Had Nasty Dollars ignored the warnings or tried to circumvent them they would have been shut down too  |
they didn't do that
they pointed uploads to the same physical file, and issued unique urls to the uploaders
they simply removed the links to the file that were DMCAed leaving the file alone
just like youtube does
you can appeal a take down 6 years after it happened (because a fair use argument becomes validated-- lenz vs univeral) and the file will become active again
that couldn't happen if the file was removed.
