Sites like RapidShare herald the fact they provide content removal tools to rights holders, however this seems to shift the responsibility of policing content on a site.
If there were 10,000 file lockers with 10,000 content removal tools then the onerous task of policing content would be unmanageable.
File Lockers must be held accountable for the content they host, not shift the responsibility to rights holders who's content is being stolen.

Rapidshare could very quickly minimise harm to rights holders by simply deleting content which is shared on warez and piracy forums. Remove the incentive to share illegal content.
