<br>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.<br>

Did you really expect him to say "Kim tried to get people upload as many<br>
copyrighted material as possible. He made money with ads and therefore<br>
he needed hollywood movies."?<br>
