I don't disagree with you, but its hard to deny that MegaUpload was full of copyrighted material.
I always got the impression they were complying with the law in the most minimal sense, but had no real interest in preventing copyrighted works from being hosted on their site.
In some ways MegaUpload reminds me of YouTube. Its hard to deny that they got big by providing access to copyrighted material, but have since become a legitimate service for sharing legal works.
- e1ven 15y agoThat's the thing, right? "Complying in a minimal sense" is still complying. It shouldn't matter if their hearts were as dark as pitch. We can't legislate the hearts of men. We can only use their actions in determining their fate.
- robryan 15y agoDepends about the wording of the law, can someone have 1 person who has the job of fulfilling the DMCA requests even though the workload would require say 10 people to respond in a reasonable amount of time?
- waitwhat 15y agoDMCA takedowns must be "expeditious", which I don't believe has yet been clearly defined by the courts.
- troll24601 15y agoIf you bothered to read the indictment, you'd see they weren't complying and that they were actively facilitating.
