EFF to help users retrieve legal files from MegaUpload - Crave ...


Files now in digital limbo on MegaUpload's servers may find their way back to their owners.

Just a day after MegaUpload's hosting companies agreed to hold off (for two weeks) deleting data from their servers, there's news that one of these companies--Carpathia Hosting--is assisting the EFF in its efforts to identify and locate legal files on the cyberlocker.

A Web site, MegaRetrieval.com has been created for legitimate users to contact the EFF about their plight. There's no guarantee that the non-profit organization will succeed, but at least, it seems like a more realistic avenue for users besides that offered by the Spanish Pirate Party, which is threatening to sue the FBI.

After MegaUpload was shut down by the FBI, there had been fears earlier that hosting firms would begin deleting user data because of non-payment. The company's assets have been frozen by the US authorities.
