Delete Files of Megaupload

The Associated Press reports the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia notified two storage companies used by MegaUpload either may or should delete files starting this Thursday. Carpathia Hosting Inc. and Cogent Communications Group Inc. are based in Virginia, which gave federal officials jurisdiction over MegaUpload. U.S. officials have copied some files from the servers, which are still physically located at their hosting companies. Ira Rothken, attorney for MegaUpload, says the company wants to keep user files safel, but can't pay for hosting because the government has seized all their funds. Rothken also makes the point that the files of at least 50 million MegaUpload users will help their defense, if they are allowed to keep them. No comments have been made by the hosting companies.
