If you look at the stuff they accused Megaupload of, it's not as simple as "file sharing." Part of the issue was that they operated an affiliate program which according to the government's case was incentivizing people to drive traffic to illegal links. Filesonic and Fileserve both had affiliate programs like this too, while Mediafire and Rapidshare didn't.
I'm not saying they are 100% safe but the line has to drawn somewhere. I don't see how the government can make all file upload services illegal. That's a basic function of the web.
