Megaupload shut down was a huge shock to a lot of users, the FBI shut it down calling it a piracy haven. However, it was used by a lot of users to share their research data, work documents, personal video collections and more.
As of now, these people are still unsure whether they will get their data back or not, they called the sudden shutdown of the website Unjustified.
Pirate Parties around the world have started making a list of all such people affected by the Megaupload closure and they are plan to file an official complaint against the US authorities.
“The widespread damage caused by the sudden closure of Megaupload is unjustified and completely disproportionate to the aim intended,” they announce.
“For this reason Pirates of Catalonia, in collaboration with Pirate Parties International and other Pirate Parties, have begun investigating these potential breaches of law and will facilitate submission of complaints against the US authorities in as many countries as possible, to ensure a positive and just result.”
“This initiative is a starting point for legitimate internet users to help defend themselves from the legal abuses promoted by those wishing to aggressively lock away cultural materials for their own financial gain.”
All of you who want to to join the action can do so here.
