Audiogalaxy had ample knowledge of the massive infringements occurring daily on its system, and in fact marketed itself as the next Napster.
Audiogalaxy clearly had the ability to control the works available on its system and acknowledged the ability to remove users, or alternatively, to exclude certain content.
Audiogalaxy provided users with a fully integrated, centralized structure and facility, including a hub of central computers to which users connected; a continuously updated database and index of infringing sound recordings; information about file size, popularity and download speed of files; and proprietary software to facilitate efficient identification, copying and distribution of recordings.

 MP3 Insider: File sharing after Audiogalaxy - CNET reviews
Theory one: The RIAA went after Audiogalaxy because the lawsuit would set a precedent that the Napster case never quite did: namely, that file-sharing services are solely responsible for altering their central databases to block copyrighted songs whose owners don't want them traded.
Audiogalaxy is now completely hobbled and will surely lose traffic and members at the rate of thousands per day.
Audiogalaxy could've kept things going longer, like Napster did, but they chose to settle (God knows why--maybe there's a backroom deal behind their decision), so there's no judicial ruling regarding opt in vs. opt out.

In the end of May, Audiogalaxy was believed to be on the verge of the same drama fellow Napster has been facing for years, after the Recording Industry filed a lawsuit against the company.

According to a press release, the settlement reached would allow Audiogalaxy to operate a "filter-in" system, which requires that for any music available, the songwriter, music publisher, and/or recording company must first consent to the use and sharing of the work.
