Comment on Megaupload Implications are plain scary for Cloud Storage

Comments

The Megaupload indictment reads that they removed links to the illegal file, but did not remove the actual file. To those blissfully unaware of how the internet works, this makes sense.

It has nothing to do with the Internet. In the context of file-systems, the word "remove" actually means to "unlink". Doesn't this technicality invalidate the indictment?

Internet was a general statement on my part, since corrected. It will be interesting to see how the "unlink" plays out in the indictment.
