Did anybody read the Mega TOS, or after the take down read the Federal Indictment?
(1) TOS clearly states that Megaupload user files are subject to deletion at any time (while service was up)... Meaning that these people that claim to have store all these medical files there, legal files there, important business files there, did so knowing that they could be deleted at any time.
(2) The indictment talks about how the investigation had been going on for a long time and that it revealed that Megaupload routinely deleted files that were not being downloaded enough times by persons that paid for Megaupload access.
Thats a major point in the indictment - that it was bullshit that it was a simple free file storage service and that if they didn't make money from the files uploaded - they would delete them.
Based on those two things - do we feel sorry for those the might have left legal files there (knowing they could be deleted any time without warning) and do we also believe that some medical records or personal photos or business records had been downloaded enough by paying members for Megaupload to retain them like they did popular Hollywood movies?
I've seen many posts, under anonymous screennames, bitching about how they had this important medical record or that important business record there... But what I haven't seen - not on boards, not on torrent sites, not on CNN or Time or USA Today - is a person making those claims in their real name.
Only the EFF lawyers and webhost management have used their real names. Those making claims of their files being legal, important, and now "gone" all seem to use screennames.
Makes me think the claims can't be backed up and are maybe just plain old pirate bullshit.
