Don't feel too sorry for megaupload, they did manage to rake in several hundred million dollars.



That's a very large figure. Source?


Not quite a several hundred.

Page two of the grand jury indictment linked from original post says, "...reported income in excess of $175,000,000."

Still a very large figure.


That's before expenses, depending on their hosting costs etc they could have lost money. IMO, profit may have been in the 10's of millions but copying them is unlikely to make you rich.
