The companies concerned may be accused of giving support to illegal music downloads via P2P through the services they provide but it is the abuse of those service by users that causes the illegality.
If a person rents a car and then goes out and uses it to deliberately run people over, does the public blame the driver for his/her improper and illegal use of the car or the car rental company who loaned that person the car in the first place.
I think it's unreasonable to ask any company providing services to have such an intimate knowledge of their customers that they can identify with ease those who will abuse the service and those who will not.
It's up to users to opt not to illegally use services provided, because if they don't the law may either stop the service or target illegal users as they have done in America.
