    Virginia is a commonwealth (not a state in the true definition) I believe there lies the legal difficulties and of course those servers are probably within a 100 miles of Washington D.C. Also the commonwealth of Virginia has a Republican Governor which makes things even worse:protest:I am glad they have found a solution.

    Acrsn. Sorry to be off topic, but what do you think of cloud servers now. What if one or more of them get taken down? Is there a chance that people could lose their personal files like old family pics etc.?

    If you are talking about Cloud like Google etc, legal cloud storage services, then it will have a backup system. If it's free service then you can't expect any guarantees, but for a paid service you should have some assurances. If it's a dodgy service like Megaupload then as you see there are no assurances.
    In general stuff in Gmail, Skydrive, Dropbox and the like will be safe from server crashes.

    And in Virginia, you can get charged with "indecent exposure" for being naked in your house!

    (At least in one of the towns)

    TRANSCRIPT
    _______________

    Greetings, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Government, We are Anonymous.

    On Janurary, 19, 2012.
    It has come to the attention of Anonymous that you have decided to buckle to the pressure of the entertainment industry and arrest 7 members of staff of [file-share site] Megaupload along with closing their website down.

    Megaupload has been shutdown by you, that hosted files, movies, backups and much more. You have caused a major error in your action. You have ruined not just the users of megaupload, you have ruined companies and businesses. By doing this, you have made people angry.

    And you have made us angry. Our anger shall be redirected at you.

    People from around the world will be joining forces. And will be launching one of the largest cyber attacks in the history of mankind. We will be united in our common interests and we will once again be fighting for our freedom, You will not escape the wrath of our Redemption and you will not destroy anymore websites that promote free speech.

    We are The redemption users.
    We will not go quitely into the night.
    We will not vanish without a fight.
    We're going to survive.
    And we will not obey you.
    So, expect our brothers, sisters, and the world.

    Operation Revenge, engaged.

    We are Anonymous.
    We are legion.
    We are divided by zero and many.
    We do not forgive internet censorship.
    We do not forget your actions.
    To the United States Government, you should have expected us.

    Doesn't matter what service paid for or not if some one uploads warez , movies e.c.t then the site could get taken down and as for a backup system what happens if the servers are seized just like Megaupload.

    That is exactly the case. It's nothing but a bunch of antiquated, pig headed people trying to use their communist mentality to subjugate at all costs. What they don't know is that V is for Vendetta :biggrin5: and the boot will be up their backside in due course.
