US Government: There's Child Porn On the Megaupload Servers Judge!

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday April 4, 2012 @12:45AM from the depends-on-what-is-means dept.

Fluffeh writes "In the ongoing Megaupload saga, Carpathia, the company that hosted Megaupload, is in a tough pickle. The EFF wants the data to remain on the servers so that users can get legitimate data back, the MPAA doesn't want the servers back, because it will lead to piracy. Megaupload wants to buy the servers to get all the data, but isn't allowed to as that would have the servers leaving the court's jurisdiction. The U.S .Government won't pay Carpathia for the time that the servers are sitting idle and has a new song in its repertoire by announcing yesterday that the servers 'may contain child pornography,' which would render them 'contraband' and limit Carpathia's options for dealing with them."

Shut up and think of the children!
It seems part of the problem is that some people are thinking of the children. Just, you know, in a different way.

Well, of course! The UN is populated by godless communist dictators. Pretty ironic the types you see on that 'human rights' commission of theirs. Fucking farce the whole thing

Well I am sure there is some CP on it somewhere.
Probably bestiality, pro terrorism, and lots of other good stuff as well.

So there "might" be CP on the Megaupload servers. OK, hard to disprove an allegation like that, especially because some of the material on the servers is likely to be encrypted. But there "might" also be CP on one or more of NASA's servers, or on LoC or CIA servers. Also hard to disprove. And there is an even greater likelihood that CP exists on servers belonging to the FBI or TSA.
Clearly, all servers connected to the internet should be impounded, until they can be proven free of CP.
There's no "might" about it, there's child porn in the "/dev/random" file on my laptop.

The CIA probably has all kinds of explosives and guns in their headquarters, too! Why hasn't someone called the DHS on these obvious terrorists?!
