The public prosecutor in the MegaUpload case, the judge asked a request from a former user that his videos back, to reject. According to the prosecutor, this would be a wrong precedent.
Former MegaUpload user Kyle Goodwin to the district court of Virginia asked to regain access to his data. These data are after the seizure by the American government become inaccessible, but Goodwin suggests that he is the legitimate user of the cyberlockerdienst has the right to his video to get back. He is supported by, among others, the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The public prosecutor’s office would tooth and nail to oppose the request of Goodwin, reports Cnet that access has had in the documents of the ORDER. So it might be from earlier case-law to prove that the government does not have to pay for the return of the seized data, argues the TO. Also would any party now material that was seized is able to reclaim, through the courts, and that creates a wrong precedent, the opinion of the public prosecutor.
It is striking that the TO Goodwin has advised on other legal avenues to take in order are sports videos to get back. So he would MegaUpload be able to sue or otherwise Carpethia Hosting, the company that is a part of the hosting of the cyberlocker accounted for.
The request of Goodwin is the result of the fact that the defense of MegaUpload, the Public Ministry and the MPAA in concert, not in were successful, to make arrangements for the return of legitimate content on MegaUpload. It is now up to the judge to determine whether Goodwin his data from the Public Ministry will get back.
