[lacnog] [LACNIC/Seguridad] Fwd: The MegaUpload Shutdown Effect

[Alejandro Acosta]

Fernando,
  No tengo respuestas a tus preguntas, sorry.
  Sin embargo hay otras cosas que me llaman la atención -creo que hay
mas de un abogado en la lista-, por ejemplo las personas que tenian
contenido legal y que ademas pagaban por el servicio, ¿que pasó con
sus archivos?.
   Escuché que había un abogado en España que estaba buscando personas
afectadas para demandar al FBI, vamos a ver que pasa.

Alejandro,
