Of course it's implied because > 99% of high traffic volume files on Mega are going to be copyrighted material. To suggest otherwise would be insane. Is high traffic proof of anything? Of course not. Is it reason to investigate? Absolutely, unless your stated mission is to cover your eyes singing "lalalalalala". Kim Dotcom has already made hundreds of millions of dollars off copyrighted material and he's trying to do it again. I'd say the fact that anyone supports his antics is bewildering but the power of selfishness knows no bounds.

Investigation takes time, effort and money. Its why the police is a group of people being paid to do that work. No one expect the police force to be made out of voluntaries. Why do then suddenly people expect system administrators to do police work for free? How common is it that people go to the local police station in an afternoon and offered to do some work with no expectation of some kind of salary? System administrators are not people that work for free. They expect to get paid like everyone else. They also expect to be able to decide what work they accept, and which ones they do not (ie, they are not slaves). Some do investigations for the police without getting any payment because they feel they want to perform some civil duty to do so, but the above comment imply that they must do so. That is wrong. System administrators should not be forced labor for the police. If there is investigation to do, call the police, pay your taxes (so the police get paid), and let the system work as intended without putting forced labor onto the system administrators of the world. If you dislike a service because its used by criminals (like say, gmail which is abused by spammers), it still the police you should call and not the system administrators.

>99% of high traffic volume files on Mega are going to be copyrighted material. This is a completely baseless assertion with no facts to back it up. (Difficulty: Pointing to a dodgy DoJ case does not count as "facts") Attemping to shift the burden of proof by saying "to suggest otherwise would be insane" is not appreciated or necessary. Futhermore, it's a useless assertion too, since pretty much everything is copyrighted. Whether it's authorized is another matter and not near as easy to figure out from a service provider standpoint. Neither is it their job.
