The urgency is because Carpathia's lease has run out, they can't stay at the $9k/day facility.
Carpathia has to pay $65k to move the servers, then $37k per month to keep them in a climate controlled facility while powered down. Lost profits are still a relevant consideration. This is a doozy of a damages calculation. What's depreciation on assets that are rendered obselete by (something like) Moore's law?
I'd say Carpathia deletes the data and then supports the petitioners (those with lost data) in the takings clause case against the government. Carpathia claims indemnity against claims by pointing at MegaUpload and the Feds, but probably gets joined in a bunch of messy lawsuits. Real roll of the dice.
