Hosting the content is the illegal part, that's why some of these forums get away with it. The file lockers just get away with it because of the DMCA loophole. I bet half of file lockers are bootstrapped by the owners uploading everything they've ever downloaded and then getting it off the ground with affiliates.
Hard to tell without detailed logs, and who's going to do that without fear of incriminating themselves?
