MegaUpload's closing - My thoughts

It's been about two weeks since Megaupload has been closed. The causes have been issued, but disputed by many people on the web. And it's easy to see why, since the operation went without any sort of warning or was there? I sure haven't heard anything.
For the few people that follow my channels, they might know that I had links on my video to LEGAL files on megaupload. There are some of them I still have on my computer or on an external hard drive, others that I will never get back (unless a miracle happens and the FBI temporarily re-opens Megaupload to let people get back legal files), like the corruption patches. Since the were NOT ROMs, but were only patches, they ARE legal, as I've read somewhere (can't remember where).
The worst part is that even though I do have Version 2 of The New Destiny of an Emperor on an external hard drive, it is about 200 MB, and since my ISP REALLY sucks, that's a lot of bandwidth gone in an instant.
 So yeah, I am pissed that Megaupload was shut down, but I'm a simple french canadian, what can I do? It's not like the FBI will mind what a guy like me says, especially when I'm pretty sure that there are like a ton of companies from the USA that financed this shutdown campaign, there's no reason why the president of Megaupload would get a harsher sentence that a murderer/rapist/other-disgusting-st00f. There's clearly money going around.
And then these companies wonder why many people won't use their services? They're rebelling against a greater evil. At least that's what I think anyway.
I don't like piracy, but I don't think this was the best course of action. Sure there sould've been more control on Megaupload, but when 1000000 files get uploaded each seconds (note: probably not fact, but it had to be a pretty high number since it was one of the most visited sites on the web), even if you have many moderators and a system to automatically check every file uploaded, some illegal files will STILL pass, and there's not much you can do about it... Good example is Youtube. Most of the times copyrighted stuff gets stopped, but it sometimes get through the system when some slight modifications were made. And that's probably how pirates did it. Maybe there was a few illegal stuff going on, but that doesn't warrant shutting down completely.
Maybe Megaupload will get re-opened someday? I'll keep praying...

Also, yes, I do know about the DDOS attacks on major sites a few minutes after the shutdown. I do not agree 100% with them, but if I was them, I guess I might have followed, but I'm no hacker. I'm studying to be a computer tech, not hacking.
Well, if anyone wants me to talk more about Megaupload, do comment. In the meantime, I'll write on another subject tomorrow.
