Dotcom is personally named as a defendant along with others such as Mathias Ortmann and Bram van der Kolk , who ran Megaupload. The complaint read here itself is pretty much an echo of the charges filed by the U. In the past, Dotcom and others associated with Megaupload have argued that their liability should be limited because they were merely in the cloud storage business.
The spectrum of content ran from to name just a few family photos, artistic designs, business archives, academic coursework, legitimately purchased files, videos and music, and — as with any other cloud storage service — some potentially infringing material. So who was really behind the MegaUpload bust -- and what were they really after? Allow me to unpack two conspiracy theories that have captivated folks who go for that sort of thing.
Conspiracy Theory 1: Grab the data and run MegaUpload was the 13th most popular site on the Internet and housed piles and piles of data. That information could potentially be worth a lot to someone, and theorists posit that this is the most valuable piece of the MegaUpload pie. Anyone could use the site, and the user base was massive. This kind of data could be a priceless payload for entertainment lawyers, Feds, and more on down the line to brokers, miners and data dealers.
The data includes names, addresses, digital footprints and file uploads of all MegaUpload users. The estimate on Carpathia's servers is upwards of 25 petabytes of data.
Theorists have a point. Meanwhile, the feds have admitted making their own copy of some, but not all, of the data. But is MegaUpload's data really all that precious? Sign up Log in.
