DOJ to legit Megaupload users: "Tough Luck!"

http://j.mp/zbFOk4  (Digital Trends)

   "A Department of Justice spokesperson, who asked not to be named "for
    security reasons," tells us in an email that the Website "clearly
    warned users not to keep a sole copy of material on the site," so
    there was no reason to believe these files would remain safe and
    accessible."

I must point out that Terms of Service that disclaim responsibility
for lost files are common way beyond Megaupload!  Suddenly DOJ is
using the Megaupload ToS as a reference?  How positively Kafkaesque!
