Prove it.

  Prove what, that 90% of the use of isoHunt is infringing, or that if 90% of the use of isoHunt is infringing, they'll likely be found liable? In neither case is it my job to do so, but I'll just quickly note: (a) The media industry had little problem convincing a judge that 90+% of Limewire was infringing based on basic data collection and discovery. (b) The fact that 90+% of Limewire was found, as a matter of fact, to be infringing allowed the judge to hold them liable for copyright infringement as a matter of law. My only point here is that the fact that Google has 90% of the same files as isoHunt is probably irrelevant; the amount of infringing use of Google is probably infinitessimal compared to the lawful use of Google, and, to head off the inevitable argument about how much Google is used to infringe, it's certainly a far safer fraction than that of isoHunt, which basically exists almost entirely to facilitate copyright infringement.
