But what percentage of the Post Office mail is used to violate the law? What percentage of the ocean is being used to violate the law? Probably less than 1%.

What percentage of MegaUpload content was violating copyright law?

His analogy doesn't really make sense here. I promise you if 50% of the mail carried by the post office was illegal, there would be HUGE calls to shut it down or regulate it.

MegaUpload isn't some special new technology that must be protected. There are countless legitimate places to upload your personal files, pictures, videos, back-ups, etc. Nobody is calling to shut those down. MegaUpload is simply the result of a guy seeing a loophole in a changing landscape and cashing in before laws and society caught up.
