I know for a fact that file lockers and hosts are routinely asked by the FBI and other three letter organizations to give them full backdoor access to their servers, and in return get preferential "buddy" treatment ie: being left alone and not harassed by law enforcement.

I also know that all of these services would be stupid to refuse, and they basically always grant access to such requests.

I think a lot of the users of these sites are unaware of this, and would be offended to know about the "deals with the devil" that the site owners make, throwing their users and their privacy under the bus to keep the bus rolling and the funds coming in.

Maybe something for AdultKing et al to bring up. I wrote to TorrentFreak asking them to do an article about this, we'll see if they do.
