MegaUpload has been on a winning streak in court but last week, a U.S. district judge denied the company's request to dismiss a criminal indictment against it.
The U.S. Attorney's office has accused MegaUpload and its leaders of operating the cloud-storage service as a criminal enterprise. U.S. officials allege that founder Kim DotCom and six other associates encouraged users to upload pirated movies, music and other media to MegaUpload's lockers so managers could get rich on advertising revenue and premium subscription fees.
