Heheh. You didn't read all the implications of the story.
If there is no court case, there is no need of evidence.

There may be subsequent court cases depending on contracts
between Megaupload and Carpathia, and between Megaupload
and their clients, but those are future hypotheticals. If the
evidence for those cases is no longer available, who's gonna
sue the US Govt?

At last - a real case of IP theft
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, April 22 2012 @ 06:05 AM EDT
All those pesky "legitimate users" who had their IP safely stored on the MegaUpload servers no longer have it. The government has taken it away without warning and with dubious legal process.

Copy IP from wealthy corporations and the government will move mountains

Steal IP from Joe Public and it is just collateral damage

I rather think the government WANTS the legitimate users to suffer as much as possible "pour encourager les autres"

Once the legitimate users are too scared to use the upload sites it will be much easier to claim they are just used by pirates.
