Why is 8 oz of cheese 2 cups?

A bag of shredded cheese is 8oz and most of them say the bag has 2 cups in it. A cup is a volume measurement - usually liquid, but can be used for dry goods too. 8 oz of weight (which is how cheese is generally sold) isn't going to translate to 8 fluid ounces, which is a cup.
