#23Here's the part I don't get: IP addresses, file ownership and payment info are stored unencrypted ( http://bit.ly/VswkJi ). If someone or something is advertising they have a trove of copyrighted material, the standard procedure for law enforcement is to subpoena the cloud provider for the IP of the user, then the ISP for the subscriber's physical name/address. When they confiscate their computer they'll find the dat…
For a server in New Zealand I assume it would be covered by our three strikes law ( http://3strikes.net.nz ). Rights holders can send infringement notices via the users ISP for a $25 fee.

#27The site features an "Infringement" button at the top of the page. Can I report the entire contents of the first page as infringing, since every item I see is obviously infringing? Can I then repeat that for each subsequent page?

#28How does this work? The website shows a file as "downloading" but I don't see a file on my pc.
Mine downloads and goes to 100%, but just sits there, nothing happening. Weirdness.

#29I just noticed something: Mega's cloud loading image seems to be a slightly altered rip of this image from Stripe's website, just animated. Mega [ http://i.imgur.com/PH90lZ3.png ] Stripe [ https://stripe.com/img/frontpage/api-cloud.png ]
I find these gears icons funny because it is implied that all 3 gears touch each other mutually. But obviously, such a setup would prevent the whole machinery to work at all.
