I mostly thought of MegaUpload as an illegal site, an opinion I formed (as perhaps you too), entirely without using the site. It’s founder Kim DotCom (yeah, that’s his real name!) ‘s residence was raided & he was arrested by the New Zealand police, with much fanfare a few months ago. The case is throwing up some very interesting facts, besides getting very serious support for MegaUpload from some very respected judicial authorities (yes, they do exist!) in the US. “There has been a trail of illegality by the NZ Police, & the forces who incited this raid (read Hollywood)”.
