M5V8 337 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 well...he would be entitled to the money. The crown has seized what they are calling "proceeds of a crime". Lotto winning would be clearly not fall into that category. I would have thought he would have proven enough he's not a flight risk. Why run from millions more & your hot wife & kids. Can't wait to see him tear their case apart in court. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 Can't wait to see him tear their case apart in court. Word. I'm not aquainted with the full 100% of the facts but after that interview with Campbell Live and a bit of digging here and there IMO he's got nothing to worry about. I was also under the impression "innocent until proven guilty" yet they have seized everything prior to trial even? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 X2. Would not be happy if my place was raided, my assets frozen and my business closed down before I had my say and chance to defend myself in a court of law, seems innocent util proven guilty did not apply here, even when he does get off free they have destroyed his lively-hood.

M5V8 337 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) x3 My little light bulb flicked on when he explained that all the legal content owners had Delete Control Access to all his servers and were given free reign to delete anything they thought was infringing on their copy rights....access that they have had for a long time...and... that they regularly used it too.plus they also never sent him anything to request him to stop doing anything. I think it's a setup. He has a new system in development where artists can upload songs and get paid directly for the legal downloads (minus a cut for megaupload). this would effectively cut out record labels. they need to kill or delay the launch of this. This is how they did it. big business america terrorizing to get their way. Edited March 26, 2012 by M5V8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaneg 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 From what i understand they (copyright holders) were given access to delete LINKS and not the files themselves, and a limit to 20 or so a day. And with the links, there could be 2000 pointing to the same file, so while he may be doing more than he should he is really (megaupload and associated companies) not doing a whole lot to stop what was going on. That being said he thought he wouldve been protected via that piece of law, cant remember the name right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
