That is insane. So because you could either legally could obtain the files again or spend vast amounts to sue companies it is totally okay for the government to take them? Well so if the government took your car and left it in an impound lot where you had to pay thousands of dollars to get it back, that would totally be okay because you have a legal way to get it back?
I think this shows just how corrupted some governments have become. As well as how little they understand the internet. The solution to a company that offers a legal service, which some people use illegally, is not to take everything that company and the people who use it has. It is to try and find ways to stop the illegal use of it or force the company to do/attempt to do so.
I mean seriously how would the legal case of Mr. Goodwin Vs. Capathia even go?
I want reimbursement for the files I lost because of your service.
We were forced by the government to remove that service. If it was up to us you would still have your files.
Yes well even though you were forced it is still your fault? |
the gopvernment did not take the servers.
The servers are still in the hands of the original owner.
Megaupload was leasing or renting the servers it sounds like and no longer has the money to do so since his assets are frozen.
So the only course of action for users would be to contact the owner of the servers or sue the company they were dealing with, megaupload.
The files are not lost, they just dont have access to them.
That is my understandning unless i read it all wrong.

So, if the government illegally freeze all your assets, making you unable to pay for your mortgage. The bank then take your properties and who would be at fault?

they froze the owner of megauploads assets. not the people who can not gain access to their files.
I was not saying what they did was right or wrong, it just seemed like he had the wrong idea of how it went down. The government didn't take anyhting as far as i know. Its a case of Dotcom (is that his name?) not being able to pay to rent the servers for his business any more. Unless I am reading it wrong.
