What's Hawt: In the continuing saga between MegaUpload and Kim Dotcom versus the US/NZ states, a public attorney has said that seizing data is not illegal, because it is not “physical”.
Ira Rothken has kept Megaupload founder free for years. Can he do it again?
Following the news earlier this week that Kim Dotcom intends to relaunch Megaupload, the entrepreneur has just delivered a new surprise. Rather than a cold start, Megaupload 2.0 will hit the ground running by deploying the original Megaupload user database.
In a rewards program that lasted five years, Megaupload paid out more than $3m to users who uploaded content the site. One of those was paid more than $50,000, despite having more than 1,200 takedown notices filed against his account, the U.S. claims. Countering, lawyers for Kim Dotcom says its unfair those users' identities are being kept secret.

This just keeps going back and forth. They should just throw the damn case out.
so hackers seizing government data is also not illegal in that case coz they never steal anything physical.
So lemme get this straight... its not ok for users to share films and other peoples content online by sending to other users without permission. But its ok for the government to do it?
