LeaseWeb explains why it deleted Kim Dotcom's MegaUpload data
- aroch 13y agoLink to LW statement: http://blog.leaseweb.com/2013/06/19/statement-on-former-client-megaupload/ http://blog.leaseweb.com/2013/06/19/statement-on-former-clie... Why does LW have to explain anything? They're under no contractual or legal obligation to hold onto rented servers for more than a year without payment. Had these been servers MU owned outright, I would be a little more sympathetic to Dotcom. However I find it highly unlikely that LW didn't follow their end of the ToU and more likely that the contact information Dotcom had on file was either outdated or incorrect (that or he and his lawyer are just lying or manipulating the facts to support their narrative).
- lifeguard 13y agoKind of disingenuous of them to claim, "we had to re-use the servers". They could have just pulled the HDDs for the MEGA storage servers and re-purposed the servers to paying customers. This would still have been expensive of course.
