If you read the article I linked to and some of the others linked to after mine you would see that it appears Universal is saying that Mega Upload doesn't have releases nor the rights to put that stuff up which is why they had it taken down. Mega Upload is saying they do have signed releases and the rights and that they have now been damaged by Universal. The court will settle this. IF Mega Upload has signed releases as they claim and they have the rights to the content they used they should win their case easily and be allowed to sue for damages. IF they don't they should be punished. This is a case of he said she said and nobody other than then people who are involved in it really know the truth of the story including you.

btw you might want to read your own statement

Apparently several of the artists that appeared in this video served Youtube with takedown notices saying that they never gave their permission for their work or likeness to be in the video. They claim that Megaupload spliced together random footage to come up with this endorsement video. Of course Megaupload says otherwise.

the issue isn't HOW the footage was put together it WHO owns the footage.
NOTHING in the artist statement contradicts the ownership by mega upload
and of course your trying to misrepresent mega uploads statement as if they are saying they didn't cut together the footage they OWNED in a way the artist doesn't like
which they never ever said.
