Megaupload wasn't just for pirates: angry users out of luck for now

http://j.mp/yte2if  (ars technica)

   "By taking Megaupload offline and charging its leaders with criminal
    activity, the feds are hoping to drive purveyors of illegally
    distributed copyrighted content out of business. But in doing so,
    they've also eliminated a service that was used by many to share files
    acquired and distributed in a perfectly legal manner."
