File Lockers must be held accountable for the content they host, not shift the responsibility to rights holders who's content is being stolen.
Are you suggesting that file lockers should manually inspect each and every single file uploaded? If I was using an online backup service such as a file locker the last thing I would want is people going through my personal files.

Maybe we should let the government inspect every single aspect of our lives on a day to day basis making sure we do not break the law. It's about time governments be held responsible for the actions of their population. If a person murders someone then their government is murdering someone to. This insanity needs to stop!
