Your argument is that you and your friends are criminals, therefore everyone is. Your reasoning is faulty.
Many people used Megaupload for legitimate purposes. I used it to transfer large files containing content I owned to other people, for legitimate legal purposes. There are many services that do this. Megaupload had a very good workflow for this and was easy to use.
As far as copyright infringement, YouTube is probably the biggest violator in the world. It is riddled with material that was uploaded in violation of copyright law.
Google, YouTube's owner, responds to takedown requests. So did Megaupload.
