Review on MegaUpload.com Defendants Might Hav

Megaupload.com has been in news for the past few weeks after it was shut down due to piracy case being filed against them. Now the website shows only a banner from the FBI U.S Government which was earlier a hub for file sharing. The website is said to have a worth of over $145 million and is ranked among the best file sharing websites over the internet. Although, earlier also many software development companies and other major industries had made complaints against the website for copyright infringement issues. The taking down of the website has also proved the fact that there is no use of implementing SOPA and PIPA if it can be done without taking away the internet freedom.
The defendants in the case Kim Dotcom and others will have to wait till Wednesday to get an update on their bail status. For the time being the defendants will be kept in custody at Mount Eden remand center, Albany, New Zealand. They were arrested by the New Zealand police on the basis of provisional arrest warrants from United States Department. They are having piracy charges on them for letting the users host and download copyright software development copies, music albums, documents, images and variety of other stuff. Many small time hackers used to host their software development services on these websites by uploading their developed content.
Kim Dotcom, the founder of MegaUpload.com is expected to face 5-20 years in prison and U.S government is planning on getting the highest penalty for the accused. These web legal issues that have been imposed due to all the software development copyright issues and money laundering by providing different other non-licensed services like music, movies, images and software development services from other sources.
