megaupload shut down by federals

[Osilon]

The FBI got NZ Police to arrest the employees of Megaupload, not only because it was a site full of pirated content, but they set up the system specifically for said pirated content.
The 'report' button deleted links to files without actually removing them from megaupload servers, allowing others to find them anyway.
The employees had several internal emails stating that they shared pirated content between them, and downloaded it from megaupload servers- which put them in the wrong too. They admitted that the top 100 files was falsified, and the lack of a search bar was all set up to hide what people were uploading.
All in all, Megaupload was trying to present themselves legally while being almost as bad as TPB.
