What's the big deal? Just delete the data. Customer pays for storage. Company stores. Customer stops paying for storage. Company deletes.
Sure, a bunch of pissed off people will certainly be upset - but it's not the company's fault - they shouldn't have to bear this burden. I can't see how they could be sued by users for this, they didn't enter into any kind of agreement with the users, only with the customer.
- darklajid 15y agoThing is - the company stopped paying because a couple of cowboys are currently checking if the town is big enough for them both. Users don't care about that. Yes, some users are totally legitimate. Dropping their data because someone, somewhere thinks that the original service in general was 'evil' is not a solution that is as straight-cut as you'd like to present it.
- rmc 15y agoThe customer (MegaUpload) would like to continue to pay for the storage, they have been prevent by a third party (the government).
- zevyoura 15y agoThe article also mentions that they need to hold onto the data because it may be used as evidence in the court case.
- brown9-2 15y agoIt boggles my mind that the court hasn't taken position of the hardware/data then. If the hardware is left running, and not in official custody, how do any authorities know that the data isn't being tampered with?
