It's about proportions. Fedex = mostly legit packages = less reasonable to shut it all down. Megaupload = mostly infringing content = more reasonable to shut it

It's about proportions. Fedex = mostly legit packages = less reasonable to shut it all down. Megaupload = mostly infringing content = more reasonable to shut it down, especially since the other counts against Kimmy are rather serious white-collar crime charges. This whole argument is ridiculous, now that I'm typing anyway. The government doesn't have any obligations against the customers of a company that does illegal things. When the IRS impounds all the property of a cake bakery, they have no obligation whatsoever against the couple who have a wedding the next day and now all of a sudden don't have a cake. Megaupload users can ask Megaupload to give them their data back (which they obviously can't), or sue them for damages. 'Sueing the FBI' is tough talking from a bunch of armchair lawyers, but has no relation to the real world in any way.
