I find it odd in the whole megaspload incident that Swizz Beatz wasnt included in the fun of arrests and such. He was listed as CEO..
It isn't really, as this is all about making money out of the distribution of copyrighted materials.

Swizz was ignored because:

1. He wasn't on the payroll.
2. He didn't own any stocks or equity.
3. He had no demonstrable influence on MU policy or operations.

The FEDs aren't going to risk screwing up what seems a pretty good case by trying to involve people outside of the mainstream who cannot be clearly demonstrated to have materially benefited from the alleged wrondoings

From the subsequent reactions of other file repository services it would seem that several of them were at it to some extent?

However, they weren't so blatant, and have a leader with previous criminal convictions.

I am surprised at the New Zealanders though, as I always understood that they had pretty strict firearms laws..............over here he would be looking at 14 years for illegal possession and 7 years for a shotgun with a barrel length of under 20"...............no need to even apply for bail
