AP: Megaupload data will soon be deleted

Remove the evidence and remove the case. How can they proceed with the trial if smoking gun has been removed?

Wow... smoke the servers & then send them off to solitary. Without even looking on the servers to see what's there or allowing the defense to use them to prove their own case. If that's not railroading I don't know what is.

That really is like collecting the smoking gun, melting it down before trial & then telling the judge, "Yeah, he did it, but we don't have any physical evidence. Just trust us..."

Profanity, don't fail me now!!!

They might print out some of the sharing files data from the database then delete it who knows

OMG! I think this is the worst that could have happened. I think this is totally unfair to people like me. Come on, i didn't infringe any copyright. All i kept were my OWN music files! I think this is really bullshit. You guys are absolutely right, this is the best way to destroy evidence

I use dropbox for storing files, since I don't share them. Maybe consider that service.

That's a great idea, but kinda too late since he's already lost his files to the DoJ. "IF" he gets his files back, sure, great incentive to go with your solution; but it's kind of like I've complained in the past... I don't trust the 'cloud' at all for any kind of long term storage & this is but one more reason for having physical, tangible storage solutions that 'I' can lay my hands on.

UPDATE: Users on MU will have a 2 week grace period to get their stuff off their accounts and delete them manually should they choose. FBI has finished gathering all the data they need to pursue their charges.

I'm right with you on this idea. I like tangible things. I back up my important files(read tax returns and other irreplaceable data) to a blu-ray and store it in safety deposit box. Music wise back up on a blu-ray in the house.

I think we, as a computing society are too reliant on conviecne and cloud offers this. Then again we like to take our files with us for the longest time. I remeber the Bronulli box 10mb(not a typo). The thing was a HUGE cassette, and my dad and his partner stored importnant accounting records on there.
