 |  Megaupload Takedown Killed 10M Innocent Files A study sponsored by Northeastern University has found that the takedown of the file hosting/sharing service Megaupload.com not only destroyed copyright infringing files, but approximately 10 Million legitimate files were also deleted in the process. Copyright-infringing files are duplicates by their very nature, but non-infringing files are far more like to have been unique, meaning their deletion was a real, actual loss. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2013/10/...nnocent_files/ |
