Judge declines to kill 25 petabytes of Megaupload data

article published on 15 April, 2012

Last week, attorneys for the former top cyberlocker Megaupload came out swinging, calling the criminal prosecution of the site's top executives "unduly adventurous," while accusing the government of trying to destroy evidence in the case.

Does the law have the authority to deny my access and seize my lawfully acquired and owned property in my "storage locker" because the tenant/user "adjoining" my space/unit is suspected of criminal activity? And is it the responsibility of the "storage space" provider to know the entirety of my units storage content?

Boy I wish I had paid storage service and data stored on this companies server. I'd be contacting ACLU.

Is anyone that is a paid subscriber concerned that they are being denied their right and access to their personal property have been seized by law enforcement in violation of their constitutional rights?

I found mny answer... And it is YES... The Electronic Frontier Foundation is representing Megaupload users, including an Ohio businessman who is demanding his video footage of high school sports be returned from the Megaupload seized servers.

sounds to me like the prosecuter is trying to destroy any legit files so they can point the finger at megaupload and say all they did was illegally share copyrighted files.
