Mega upload gets shut down.
The FBI has confirmed that local authorities have in fact arrested Kim Schmitz as well as three other mega upload employees. There are outstanding arrest warrants for three additional employees.
The FBI has said in a press release that it and other law enforcement agencies have executed 20 search warrants in eight countries, seizing $50 million in assets and taking down mega upload’s servers. The agency is alleging that mega upload generated more than $175 million in profits and caused “more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners.”
