Re: good news?

Mega giving mixed messages though on de-duplication. Publically their claiming each file will be encrypted and not duplicated (ie if 500 people uploaded the same 1GB movie file each copy would be unique copy, taking up 500GB of server storage) yet the TOS still has similar language about de-duplication as Megaupload (ie if Mega detect you've uploaded a file that is already on their servers, they'll delete it and redirect you to first copy of that 1GB movie, effectively saving themselves 499GB of server storage) and that is part of what got Megaupload into such problems.
