No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).
They get DMCA'd regularly and content get removed on Usenet as well. But the fact that they have to report literally thousands of individual files every time make it slow and inefficient. People will just reload the same item many times and it's always there.
Each copy, each single file in which the copy is split needs to be identified and asked for removal. Compared to torrents, it's a long and complex task.
