Megaupload's attorney did not accept their client's websites forcibly closed by thegovernment of the United States. In fact, if traced further, Megaupload are likeYouTube.
Yes, at least that's the assumption Ira Rothken, Megaupload attorney, as reported by ArsTechnica and quoted Updatec.com on Wednesday (01/25/2012).
"Whatever the accusations against Megaupload, could also be charged forYouTube," said Rothken.
According to him, YouTube and Megaupload are both provide file storage for its users, and both sites are also listed in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).That is, the owner of the site will be informed in advance prior to the forced closureas happened on Megaupload.
Rothken also cited a similar case that hit YouTube in 2007 ago. At that time, the siteprovider of streaming video is being sued by Viacom, a collection of konglongmeratwho deals in video and audio industry in the United States.
At that Viacom sent a warning letter to the Co-Founder of YouTube, which it is a warning about illegal content contained in these sites. This tumultuous finally goesinto the realm of law.
"And YouTube was won," said the lawyer from San Francisco.
Until now the legal process continues to Megaupload. In addition to forcibly shut down, six employees and Kim dotcom as the owner of the site is officially a suspect.
