cleolindaSome anonymous donor came and rescued Erin. (ETA: Followup.) As far as I'm concerned, Project Download accomplished what it was intended to accomplish, and MegaUpload grinching out may have served its cosmic purpose after all.
ETA 2: Aaaaaand here's the owner of MegaUpload, "a German self-proclaimed hacker and businessman who has generated much publicity and has been convicted of computer fraud, insider trading and embezzlement."

Date: 2007-12-31 02:57 am (UTC)Although, to be totally, utterly frank, I'd still like to see her take MegaUpload to court for not paying up.
I'd understand her not wanting to bother now, of course. My desire to hold MU accountable does not outweigh her needs to rest physically and mentally or to get on with more hopeful things in life.

Date: 2007-12-31 09:49 am (UTC)I had no idea what he's doing now and even though it is somewhat plausible that he's involved in megaupload (especially if it's incorporated "overseas") I would like to get some "official" confirmation before I believe it (not that I really care). I mean, would you like to do business with someone like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix16xiwZrqM). :)
As for the "captcha letters" letters. By now more or less everybody does it. And I can understand why they are doing it. I don't mind to jump through a few hoops to have access to those files but then I want a fast download which in my experience is rarely the case with megaupload. I personally use rapidshare when it comes to file sizes that are tens of MBs large since they almost always offer excellent download speed even though they often have long waiting periods until the download starts.
