why are file sharing sites like megaupload and such OK but sites like Piratebay are considered bad? Aren't they basically the same thing?

They are pretty much the same, yes. I've always wondered that though. Also, sites where you can stream TV shows for free (non-official ones) are considered okay by the general public but torrents are not (even though torrent doesn't equal piracy at all times).

And it seems like companies only take legal actions against torrent sites. It's rather perplexing.
