And then someone from the MPAA goes and makes a comment that could of hurt their case if this wasnt already an issue?

I believe, he said that, 'they should see digital downloads differently and that more people are downloading from p2p websites to have a back up of the stuff they own'. That statement would of hurt their case against megaupload alone.

This case validates the need for SOPA style legislation. If you can;t shut down an obviously infringing organization like mega, then you gotta change the law.

yes each person should be able to file into a class action on that part. you paid for a service and followed the TOS you are in the right.

IMO its never a good idea to upload any sort of critical data to these sites and cloud storage. You never really know who owns and operates the service.

Indeed its a huge loss for those who played by the rules. No one knows who has there data and what they plan to do with it.

@That_Whore

Oh of course, it's idiotic to upload it to only one spot. That's almost guaranteeing you'll lose your stuff. But either way, those people should get what is rightfully there's back.

OH and people should always have at least two back ups of important data.
