Heh, now that would be interesting. I wonder if the "intent" scenario would
apply to this also?

 I can't answer the question but it would be even more interesting to
answer this if you're using a One-Time-Pad (i.e. two files of equal size on
two different servers, both XORed give you the data). There exists a
mathematical proof that none of the two files leak a single bit of
information of the original data :)

Sorry, when I say eligible, I mean "which server would they be allowed to
take down by law?".

 I'm not too hot on the laws of encryption, but I'm sure there is
something which states that hosting encrypted files are not illegal, it's
distributing the key which allows you to gain access to those fails, which
is actually illegal.

 *DISCLAIMER: I don't know if the above is true or not, so apologies if I
got this wrong*

I go with the server hosting the files since the key should be
significant smaller than the files and therefor much easier to mirror.

So here's a thought.
If illegally distributed files (such as this one) were encrypted and
hosted
on one server, and the key hosted on another, which server would
be eligible for take down?
