File Lockers don't need to manually inspect every file to find violations. You don't think a file name like "Young_Girl_Hight_School_16_Year_Old.part11.ra r" can be filtered against their appearance on illegal porn forums as this file was derived ?
It's actually not hard for File Lockers to automate the removal of a large amount of illegal and infringing files with a bit of creativity and terms and conditions which protect legitimate use of their service against illegitimate use.
However if they did that then they might not be so profitable. File Lockers aren't making their money from you uploading a midi file you share with a few friends, they're making money from thousands of people joining to download copyright or illegal content.
