There were many other ways the government could have handled that - I believe it was Sendspace that, for a time, allowed users to access and download their own files, but prevented them from accessing anyone else's - but no, they had to wave their dicks around and prove how big and bad they are. Some of those files might have been very important things... novels hundreds or thousands of pages long whose hard drives they were originally stored upon had died, old pictures that were available nowhere else... they stored these things through a perfectly legal avenue they should have been able to trust was safe, but because the government refused to compromise to any degree whatsoever, all those things were lost. It's disgusting. Absolutely fucking disgusting.
