Dude, once you know about an illegal activity in your house and you tolerate it, you become responsible. I am surprised people don't get this simple logic. The only reason why hosting companies in USA are not responsible is DMCA. We don't have that here, so local companies could be fucked if they still knowingly offered space for proven thieves.
Hell, locally you are even responsible if you lend your car to a friend and he gets caught speeding but not stopped by the police. They mail you (the car owner) the ticket and it's your job to prove you were not the one who was driving the car.
