What's the forums opinion on the intervention and closure of Megaupload, by the USA authorities?
What about all the personal information held in these servers by paid-up members?
Movie companies knew that Megaupload could not remove all the pirated material that was on the site, fast enough. So they used the FBI to bully them around, and build a case on them. Megaupload don't have the fault on what their users post on their site. Now the CEO of Megaupload is being treated a criminal. Totally unfair.
And it is a shame that they hosted many useful files (non-pirated) & it has been difficult for owners to access that information again (although they certainly should have kept backups etc).

If the info wasn't pirated, it should be available from the originating site, and not a host site.
