The questions I have: - what will happen to subscribers (ie those who paid to download faster)? - what will happen to other file-sharing sites eg rapidshare? |

- what will happen to anyone who uploaded anything copyrighted to Megaupload? - what will happen to anyone who downloaded anything copyrighted to Megaupload? Presumably all information about Megaupload users is now in US hands? Should keep the US courts busy for a long time to come. |

Apparently, the guy was a mafioso, had cars with plates like "Evil", "God" etc. Also looks like MU will be resurrected off US soil so there's no US jurisdiction. |

They moved their servers to US soil which is why they could go after them. |

That's... interesting. They seem to be making the assumption that all the data there is illegal. All it takes is two people with legit data on there and you've got a class action lawsuit against the government and the MPAA. Could be fun. Jon |
