They are an interesting data point between the two: * A generic provider of CPU/storage/bandwidth who isn't (generally speaking) responsible for users copying stuff using provider's resources. * A service who clearly and obviously caters to pirates (those do actually get in legal trouble) A lawsuit would probably be interesting for the class of cases where it is not clear who is legally responsible for actions performed by software (author, owner of box, user starting the action, etc.)
