The only important thing for criminal responsibility is if you knew about it.
So why not hosting companies??? It's their equipment and as long as they know the user is doing something illegal, why not???
Why do they delete any content involving CP if (according to you) they are not be responsible for what others put on their servers?? It's the same logic. I am sure in those cases they act lightning fast.
If they know that the content is illegal cause they had it proven and yet they ignore it, they would most likely be criminally responsible in most European countries.
They are only protected by DMCA which, by the way, we don't have locally.

Hosting CP in any way is a huge violation of federal law and state law. The simple possession of it is very, very fucking illegal in the US in every jurisdiction. As soon as a host with any ties to the US is made aware of it, they will remove it almost instantly. Otherwise say hello to the FBI, who has a very very long dick. The possession of Jules Jordan's latest full scene isn't illegal by the very nature of it, so your shitty little analogy falls apart pretty quickly.
I sometimes wonder how most of you tie your shoes in the morning.
