It was simply because they can't control every freaking file uploaded at their servers. But they can easily remove those files, if copyright holders notify them about it.
Apparently from what was posted in the thread, some employees knew their was pirated stuff and bragged and boasted about it.

If I was on the list of what could be shutdown, say Youtube or Facebook, I would be looking into moving servers. I assume American companies can move their servers and be ok from this.

And America just keeps exporting jobs due to rules and regulations.

What is stopping them from closing youtube? People post links to download songs and movies. Shoot, you can download add-ons for that stuff. Same thing with Facebook, Myspace, ect. They can just deem that it is not a safe site like they did with MU and shut it down.

Besides, piracy mostly happens in 3rd world countries. I believe the US is on the bottom of the list.
