Holy shit! I thought when the feds seize something... they actually take it... you know... like evidence. They just left it with the hosting company to store for them... and aren't paying them for it? What a bunch of asshats. Whether MU is guilty or not, the hosting company should not be on the hook to store the evidence. Hell, you'd think that would be enough to get the case tossed since it doesn't sound like they have a very solid chain of custody there.

And it is mystifying how they can justify not giving the data back to MegaUpload. If it is evidence for the case, it must be available to the defence right? And if it isn't evidence, then why can't they have it back?

  Well, there's a distinction made between making it available to the defence, and giving it back to the defendant. Apparently the data they have gotten around to collecting has been shared with the defence. But presumably MegaUpload is not allowed to start serving that data again.
