2. Megaupload vs. LeaseWeb
The problems for Megaupload have not yet finished. In January 2012 the page was
shutdown and the founder, Kim Dotcom, was accused of racketeering, fraud, money
laundering and copyright theft.
The function of Megaupload was to store in different servers the information the users
uploaded. Most of the servers agreed to store the information until the end of the trial was
reached, but one of them, LeaseWeb, has now deleted all the data belonging to European
users. Although they allege that they had informed Mr. Dotcom what was about to happen,
through twitter, he said that nobody in Megaupload had been informed about this.
After a year of nobody showing any interest in the servers and data we considered our
options, said LeaseWeb. We did inform Megaupload about our decision to re-provision
the servers.
In response to this, Dotcom tweeted: Let me be crystal clear. #LeaseWeb has never
informed our legal team or anybody at #Megaupload about the deletion of servers until
today.
This is indeed a sad day for the Internet, as Mr. Dotcom said. All the information stored in
that server, belonging to thousands of users is now lost. And Kim Dotcom is still facing trial
and extradition to the United States for the storage and sharing services he offered,
although his hearing is now scheduled for November 2013.
