Megaupload Lawyer Says User Data Will Be Held For Two Weeks

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-second-thought dept.

First time accepted submitter AlistairCharlton writes "Users' data on the seized Megaupload website will be saved for two further weeks, according to the website's lawyer, despite being shut down by US authorities. From the article: 'Megaupload lawyer Ira Rothken reportedly told tech blog TorrentFreak.com that users' data would be saved for at least another two weeks, after it was previously thought that the data would be deleted by Thursday, 2 February.'"

    Anyway, the question to who knows: is the data available to users now? Why don't they make it available? MAFIAA does not gain anything by not allowing current users to download their own material. Unless there is a technical issue of nobody's giving rat's ass about users of megaupload.

    I would have thought that all the evidence would need to be preserved. Surely if any data is deleted that would compromise the case?

    There should be a "Promote to Article" button for posts like the parent.
