Only legitimate users who did not keep a local copy of their files will lose their data...
Unfortunately Google cache has stopped serving the MU terms of service, but this link still has them: http://www.scribd.com/doc/78876728/Megaupload-Condiciones-del-servicio-Terms-of-service http://www.scribd.com/doc/78876728/Megaupload-Condiciones-de... and there it says:

- celticninja 15y agoJust becasue something is in the ToS does not make it enforceable or legal, this usually applies when the Terms are sufficiently unfair or too broad, I would not knwo the specifics here but the point remains that just because they details it in the ToS/Terms and Conditions does not make it binding. I am sure that someone who had a premium account (i.e. paid for a service) that lost significant data could pursue a legal claim with a suitably friendly legal team, i.e. happy to take a punt in return for a share fo significant damages.
- Anderkent 15y agoAs if anyone read the ToS.
- av500 15y agoAgreed, nobody did, but everybody is screaming bloody murder now it seems...
