There's no way this wasn't timed to come right after the
protests. Ars Technica says the people running the site may have
actually been complicit in copyright infringement, but only time
and trial will tell.<br>

Its by Mike Mozart and is spmewhat over the top. But I think he
makes valid point; since the servers have been seized, the user
account information is in the hands of the USDOJ. What will happen
with this data could be very scary. Just how much information is in
the files is unknown but I would guess email address, IP address
logs, registration information, and in some cases credit card
information (street addresses) will be perused for some juicy
charges. <br>
<br>
Personally, I had not heard of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://megaupload.com" target="_blank">megaupload.com</a>
until I saw the news story. I am somewhat wary of these sites even
though I have no interest in pirated content.<br>
