Carpathia wants to delete orphaned Megaupload data, pay the bills

Carpathia wants to delete orphaned Megaupload data, pay the bills

The Federal shut down of Megaupload did more than jail its founders, scare its competitors and worry its users - it also left Carpathia Hosting footing a $9,000 a day bill. The outfit previously agreed to preserve Megaupload's frozen data, but now that the service's unpaid bills are piling up, it's ready to change its tune. In a emergency motion filed with the U.S. Federal Court in Virginia, Carpathia asked the court to either take the data off its hands, pay it for retaining the data or else allow it to delete the data altogether after allowing users to reclaim their files.
