I'm a little confused as to what the strategy was on the part of U.S. authorities. They must have been aware of this issue the whole time, so were they just hoping Dotcom's lawyers wouldn't notice? And just because Megaupload the corporation can't be served, it was my understanding that the individual officers and directors of Megaupload have been served.
I'm going to suggest that the U.S. knew this was going to arise as an issue from the beginning and didn't care; their intention was to scare similar digital locker services into shutting down, which has happened. So even if Dotcom isn't charged, this whole thing wasn't a complete waste from the U.S. perspective.
