Megaupload et all went against the entertainment industry in a time when that industry had the money to pay the lawyers to convince the judges what the law means. In the present moment on the other hand, it is the entities in the AI industry (e.g. MS) that have the money and can hire the lawyers to convince the judges. Realistically speaking, it's very likely that things will swing the way of AI companies, which will benefit, albeit indirectly, these guys, even though by themselves they're too small to push their agenda, they're just bit players.
