Also, relevant: > The summary doesn't mention it, but none of those indicted or arrested were U.S. citizens or had likely even ever set foot on U.S. soil. Even if you're in another country, you had better make sure you're not violating U.S. law. Here's a full list of those foreigners who foolishly thought they weren't under U.S. jurisdiction (from the DOJ http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/January/12-crm-074.html [justice.gov]):
> Kim Dotcom, aka Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor, 37, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand. Dotcom founded Megaupload Limited and is the director and sole shareholder of Vestor Limited, which has been used to hold his ownership interests in the Mega-affiliated sites.
> Finn Batato, 38, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the chief marketing officer;
> Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, who is the graphic designer;
> Sven Echternach, 39, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the head of business development;
> Mathias Ortmann, 40, a citizen of Germany and resident of both Germany and Hong Kong, who is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director;
> Andrus Nomm, 32, a citizen of Estonia and resident of both Turkey and Estonia, who is a software programmer and head of the development software division;
> Bram van der Kolk, aka Bramos, 29, a Dutch citizen and resident of both the Netherlands and New Zealand, who oversees programming and the underlying network structure for the Mega conspiracy websites.
> Dotcom, Batato, Ortmann and van der Kolk were arrested today in Auckland, New Zealand, by New Zealand authorities, who executed provisional arrest warrants requested by the United States. Bencko, Echternach and Nomm remain at large.

Rapidshare and Mediafire will be the next to go. Both are pretty slow when it comes to removing copyrighted downloads.
What's scary is how long the arm of the MPAA is. The MPAA is wasting no time in buying out the law enforcement of other countries as well. It's crap like this that makes me hope piracy actually kills the entertainment industry. Sure mediafire had illegal content, but they did comply and remove said material when found.
