So yes they did. If they go after every free file locker like you keep saying they should
then we all lose the right to free network aware backup.
We have to spend more money because copyright holders are attempting to extend the monopoly into the fair use space their not allowed too.
The domain should not have gone down. because that was the equivalent of taking away the service from both the infringers and the non infringers.
That the equivalent of going after walmart for selling vcr (a specific seller of the technology) because that technology can be used for infringing purposes and walmart "knows that possible".

a) Every person (aka idiot) who used megaupload as their legit backup would have lost their stuff anyway. MU deleted everything that was not downloaded after 90 days.
b) Why do you think you should have the "right" to free backup ? After all its not free, its just funded by another party, and that party did not agree to pay for your "right" to free back up via the theft and sale of thier intellectual property. Neither did they agree to fund the cars, yachts, and mansions owned by the people who ran MU.
So gallbladder, your argument against SOPA rested on the fact that their might be false accusations (as per any other law), and your argument for restoring Mr Dotcom to his palace and fleet of luxury cars is that you have lost the right to a free backup.
Buy an external hard drive you gormless prick. There your "rights" are restored.
