Not sure who exactly you're talking about but Mega Upload was shut down by the
FBI, courtesy of the NZ Police. It's been a complete farce and the extradition
of Kim Dotcom is slowly grinding its way through the courts. It's sounding
less likely to succeed as time goes by.
Not that Mr Dotcom is squeaky clean himself... but I think the balance of
public opinion is on his side.
The why it was shut down is immaterial to the discussion. The point is,
it was shut down, and anyone who had data stored on his server either
lost their data or were very inconvenienced.
Anyone who is depending on cloud storage should be looking at this as
the potential end result of all their carefully uploaded data.
