Lots of people use the bittorrent protocol for legally downloading stuff too. But we know what it is mainly used/throttled for.

There's no service behind BitTorrent storage though. No company can get closed and kill your existing seed with it.
The problem with mega was just that - they go down, your data disappears too.
No. This originated with Kim Dotcom (the notorious file sharing pirate) and while he says he is no longer associated with the site I would worry about the possibility of it getting taken down as it still has lots of warez posted on the site:

Remember what happened with Kim's previous site, Megaupload where lots of users used it for legitimate cloud storage--and lost their data:
