re: Why did the RIAA &MPAA target peer-to-peer networks instead of one-click hosts?

So here's my question. Why do the parties suing individuals always go after peer-to-peer users rather than users on single click hosting and/or streaming sites? Is it easier? Does it require fewer subpoenas to access records? Or do IP addresses disappear when uploaded to a storing site like Rapidshare or one of the streaming sites? Aren't they basically the exact same thing otherwise?
Single click hosters like letwatchthis/onechannel are normally based outside of the USA in countries that don't have/don't enforce copyright laws. Basically you can't sue them in the USA because they don't operate in the USA.
You can't subpeona them to get their traffic info for the same reason.

That makes sense. So were Limewire, Bit Torrent, and all of the other major sites for either single files or torrents based in the US?
Interesting to see how international copyright issues and subpoena powers are the main determinant of the lawsuits.
ETA: Okay next question. How was Mega Upload seized by the US gov't when its founders are from New Zealand and the company was based in Hong Kong?
