Firm stops file sharing after Megaupload case

FileSonic, a website providing online data storage, has disabled its file sharing services following a US-led crackdown on a rival website and amid heated debate over Washington's attempts to clamp down on online piracy.

Police in New Zealand and Europe have made a number of arrests in recent days related to an investigation led by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation of the Megaupload.com website. (Reuters)
