This may actually be yet another way they are protecting users privacy. For anyone that hasn't read the news: mega is securing users uploaded files from Mega itself by forcing users to encrypt the uploads. This encryption prevents mega from policing the content that their users upload and thus they can't be held accountable. If they are really on the users side, Then this might be a way for mega to police copyrighters and DMCA people from creating scripts and application that publicly crawl mega.com looking for infringers.
