This is amazing news. Everyone involved in this case knows that the US overstepped its boundaries on this one, and once the case is thrown out of court expect there to be a shitstorm as Dotcom files for damages and lost revenue from the site. I don't know how much Megaupload made per month but I know it was a pretty astronomical figure, times that by the number of months Megaupload has been forcefully offline and it'll be a large ending figure (that's without factoring in growth factors).
I really do hope this whole situation exposes the inner workings of the heavily corrupted US judicial system. It's ridiculous the FBI is involved in what everyone knows is a civil matter dressed up in made up criminal charges.
I would really hate to be the recording industry and US government right about now.
