The key question is whether Mega is practicing "Willful Blindness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willful_blindness) by providing this service. The players involved, especially Dotcom, seem to have already "tainted" themselves as being _knowledgeable_ of infringement through their involvement in MegaUpload. So in what way is their "design" of a client-side encrypted system different from "designing" a drug trafficking briefcase so that the courier doesn't have a key? If the courier/service has reason to believe that the service is being used for copyright infringement, it could be argued that they are being criminally negligent by offering such a service.
If the postal service invented physical systems that didn't allow mail to be opened in transit, would you accuse the postmaster general of facilitating criminal conspiracies?
All they are doing is keeping private communication really private.
What is the difference between this and encrypted email? Hint, you can break a large file into many chunks of email too.
