Megavideo was replaced by a dozen video streaming sites (many with Indian .in domain names) within a week. Only ones who lost anything were the people using it to store personal files.
They had grounds to destroy Megaupload properly, law enforcement agencies (and governments) loose a lot of credibility when they ignore the law, especially when they are not doing anything time-critical.

After this public humiliation it seems unlikely they will be able to pull similar nonsense at such a scale again.
They've destroyed Megaupload and got away with it. I' not sure I'd call the result "public humiliation", at least not for them.

Correct, the people who destroyed Megaupload have not lost anything.
