    I believe your parent is referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload_legal_case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload_legal_case

      but that was "megaupload". This is "MEGA". A new service.

        Right. You comment "i'm sorry?" can mean a lot of things, one of which is that you're not aware of what megaupload was, which is why I added my comment. Granted, you may have intended something else, but there wasn't much to work with and my intent was only to aid in possible miscommunication. I believe they're worried that the same thing that happened to megaupload will happen to Mega, particularly as Mega is a relaunch of megaupload. I don't know details, but are there reasons to believe that can't happen? For example, differences in how Mega is structured legally or their TOS or limitations on uploads? I don't think it's an unreasonable concern, but like I said, it's not something I know a lot about. If you know more about it, please do share.

          Ah, I see. I misread what s/he said for some reason. I think that end to end encryption would go a long way towards mitigating any guilt on your part as the "mere" data host. I don't think Megaupload had that at all.
