Storing 25 petabytes of Megaupload data costs us $9,000 a day
In my mind, the MPAA is certainly the best choice to pay these costs.  They're the ones with the problem, they should be the ones to bear the burden.  Especially considering Megaupload offered to take the data and they explicitly forbade it.  If the MPAA didn't like the solutions offered, but can't come up with something better, then I think Carpathia should get to do what it wants.<p>Edit: The opinion above has NO legal basis whatsoever. As many have pointed out, it's not even legally possible.  I made this comment solely from a "In a perfect world..." standpoint.
