Months after the Megaupload raids and arrests, the fate of the 1,103 servers hosted at Carpathia is still undecided. While the feds won’t mind if the servers are wiped clean, Megaupload, the EFF and the MPAA want the data to be preserved because it contains critical evidence and irreplaceable user data. Carpathia is sympathetic to these concerns and has put the fate of Megaupload’s data in the hands of Judge O’Grady.
For weeks Megaupload has attempted to come to a workable solution with the Department of Justice, but Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom has just confirmed to TorrentFreak that these efforts have been in vain.
The DoJ and Megaupload couldn’t reach an agreement and as a result several parties are now fighting over the data, all for very different reasons.
The government’s position is somewhat confusing. Initially the authorities argued that they had no interest in the data at all, but when Carpathia Hosting made a deal with Megaupload to sell the servers for $1,000,000, the feds backpedaled. The government does not trust Megaupload with the data and would rather see it deleted.
