I hope that someone starts a class action lawsuit for the destruction of legitimate intellectual property hosted by megaupload. I can't access my business records and am suffering thousands of dollars a day in damages as a result.  Wink

I think many of their operators will be thinking about their defence in the event they are "indited"... Unless something is uncovered that Im not  aware off, such as emails/letters asking pirates to upload more (lol) or money laundering or such like. I think MegaUpload has a good defence

AHHH!  That's crazy!! Napster all over again, but yeah, I can see why the site fell flat on it's face.  It was too large and there was like no way to control the files on there, although they do (did) respond quickly to take down files, like PHPAdam said.

So I guess this is just the first of many file upload sites to be taken down?

I read that Kim Dotcom has a bit of money in his pocket, so will mount a good defence. He is also a middle man and has an excuse..

They DO comply with DMCA take down notices, pretty quickly!!
The pirates liked it though because unlike YouTube where a video is analysed and further mirrors are removed.. Megaupload did not do it.

Its going to be interesting and Im not too pleased as I am 2 months into a 12 month premium membership. Ive asked PayPal for a refund, to see what happens... For curiosity sake.

< MC1984> charges of distributing child prn and terrorist materials are in the megaupload charges apparantly
< MC1984> 76 page indictment
< MC1984> they just throw cp and terrorism in there

The 4 horsemen of the Infocalypse:
Child porn
Terrorism
Money laundering
Drugs

Those are things they use to attack the net. I would also add piracy to that list. Stupid.
