Judge preserves MegaUpload user data for now
- loverobots 15y agoThe government's lawyers said Carpathia just wants to "get out" of the servers but that doesn't mean U.S. taxpayers have to ride to the rescue. The government wants to have the best of both sides. It would suck if all the Megaupload servers were zeroed out by "mistake", wouldn't it? Yes, I know....obstruction of justice, this and that. Edit: is it possible to gather all the data in one "hard drive" (cloud?) and free the servers, or most of the servers? The cost would drop but then they probably lose some evidence
- ktizo 15y agoThere is money there to secure the servers, and the owner (albeit contested) of that money is happy for it to be used to preserve the data. If they just bought the bloody servers with the money, then if Kim loses, the studios then get a solid global distribution platform to play with.
