Feds Seize $50 Million in Megaupload Assets, Lodge New Charges

The government, meanwhile, also said Friday that, despite claims of having 180 million registered users, the site had 66.6 million. The authorities said that 5.86 million of these registered users uploaded files, “demonstrating that more than 90 percent of their registered users only used the defendant’s system to download.”

Bizarre article. $3400 to upload 17000 files doesn't seem like much of a payoff. And Ocean's Eleven grossed around $450 million worldwide, tough to feel sorry for the poor little film studio.

The superseding indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia also claims that Megaupload paid one of its registered users $3,400 between 2008 and 2009 for uploading 16,960 files that generated 34 million views. The files included motion pictures Ocean’s Thirteen, Ratatouille and Evan Almighty, the government said.
