-There was no trial (and probably will not matter because their site has already lost all its traffic and revenue)
-It is not a US based site
-The majority of its traffic did not come from the US
-There is not much evidence that that they were doing anything illegal by US law. They had a system in place (such as youtube) to remove copyright infringing content if found.
The fact that the majority of their traffic came from pirated content (I am just assuming, no facts) is irrelevant. I am pretty sure that if the media companies put as much effort into reporting copyright violating content on Megaupload as they do on youtube, it would have none.
