They could do a law so if more than 50% of downloads is made on clearly illegal files, then should take remedy or they're responsible. It is however difficult to know what's being downloaded, only the admin panel of file locker reports this, and that can be hidden or faked. Without access to statistics from filelocker, the only tools available are google, bing and other file searching tools, but give not an idea of the % of those files over total files, and most importantly, the number of downloads of those files over total. In fact it should be considered the % of downloads and not % of files, otherwise the file locker it could upload thousands of legitimate files no one downloads, to compensate hundreds of pirate files millions of people downloads: "ok I have 500 pirate files but other 5000 legitimate, is just 10%".
The only practical way would be to make it mandatory the use of a centralized files index for all the file lockers, that lists files, its uploaders, downloaders, hits, then it redirects and assigns to every filehoster for their servers and billing needs.. it should partecipate to this also dropbox, google drive or so, and whoever does not use this system would be not acceptable by any biller. It should be automatic that for every participating file locker, each day or week the top files by hits making sort of 50% of traffic should be monitored, if those being mostly pirated and illegal stuff, warning given. Billers should be all alerted (by visa and mastercard directly) that any file locker not participating to this should not be accepted, or biller is responsible directly for what's billed. This is obviously idealistic sci-fi, but here just to talk.
