Students busted for illegal downloads blame file-sharing service

More than 30 students at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst are demanding that i2hub pay the $3,750 the Recording Industry Association of America is seeking from each to settle allegations that they traded copyrighted music and movies online. The students are arguing that if it weren't for i2hub, they wouldn't have broken the law. (Wall Street Journal)

Aren't those sites hosted overseas somewhere? Otherwise I figure they'd be shut down by the FBI. It's no use, though. If one goes down, two appear in its place. Not to mention if they would have disabled the file-sharing option they would have saved themselves a lot of hassle.
