I wouldn't say that they promote pirate, just lazy. They will remove copyrighted material, you just need to notify them first. Although, I do understand why they do that. I had a site for a while that was similar, that merely hosted game files for the game Frets on Fire, and despite an extremely small user base, I could easily spend hours removing files that weren't allowed when ever I looked at the site. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be even with a site that gets 1% of the traffic rapidshare gets. They would require to have entire teams of people, who do nothing but searching and removing copyrighted content. From a business standpoint, it is better to let others do the work of searching for you. Saves you money.
