The moral is: put all your servers, and *all of them* outside the USA if
you are in the business of file-sharing.

The most worring side of this story is all the data belonging to people who
were using Megaupload to store or share their files, or their business
files, are now out of their reach, and in the hands of a foreign boureau of
investigation, whitout any reason for that, as long as their files are
concerned. I think this is bad enough.
