From what I've read, it seems as though the MegaUpload folk knew what was happening on their site, allowed it to happen, and even participated in it. That's why they weren't afforded safe harbor under the DMCA and that's why the US government went after them.

Megaupload has a system in place where copyright holders can issue a takedown notice. It's similar to Youtube.

Is that the thing where the video goes private/goes away on Youtube? The copyright owner taking them down?


When a video gets taken down for copyright infringement it will say "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by [Insert Company here]"
When that happens, the person who uploaded that video usually deletes the video since its not viewable, so you will get a new message "This video has been deleted by the user"
