US Gov't Won't Pay for MegaUpload's 25 Million Gigabytes

The whole megaupload situation deeply concerns me. From the beginning, they've been working way outside their borders, and now, here they are, screwing an American company out of money, pointlessly! Image the servers, ship the disks to the prosecution and start using the servers again.

One has to remmeber that Megaupload was also charged with money laundering and racketeering, not just copyright infrindgement.

OT: can anyone really comprehend the true vastness of the data we are talking about. 330 some odd years of video!!! It would take a about 1000 people watching for 3 months strait, not mention the support personnel too care for that army.

because in order to know that it is a pirated movie you need to watch it whole?
turn on the file, it starts showing copirighted material, flag it as such and go to next one. 90 minutes has just been lowered to 3, so thats 3 days instaed of 3 months now. sure for each file the time needed differs, but it still does not take the whole time.
