Expecting LeaseWeb to sit on these servers indefinitely without any communication with Kim is unreasonable. While what happened to MegaUpload is a travesty, expecting their hosting partners to share collateral cost/damages is unreasonable given their other obligations.

As stated in the other thread, I think what LeaseWeb has done is fine and Kim should reconsider his comments. In a similar situation, I doubt he would have done otherwise.



This is now one parties word against another's. Kim says he tried to contact them, they said he never did and sent him a notice.

Leaseweb kept the servers a year at their own cost, if the end result is bad PR from Kim, they should have just cleaned them right away. Alternatively, they could have coordinated a positive story for both parties.
