Actually they leased servers in Virgina, so they are conducting busines on us soil..-.-
The 72-page indictment is nevertheless littered with references to activity that allegedly took place in the Eastern District of Virginia, where the case was filed and where Megaupload[COLOR="Blue"] leased servers from a company called Carpathia Holding[/COLOR]. (The Washington, D.C.-based Cogent Communications was allegedly an Internet service provider for Megaupload.) The government asserts the Eastern District is an appropriate venue because allegedly illegal uploading and downloading took place there, and because Megaupload did business, via the Internet money processer PayPal, with users who live in eastern Virginia..
This makes sense does it not, if the us gov can do this to citizens of other countries, then they would have done it along time ago..:notes:
