Court Freezes Megaupload “Troll Case” for 180 Days

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 Ernesto

A few weeks after Megaupload was shutdown, ValCom and Microhits sued the cyberlocker for copyright infringement.

In what can be characterized as a trolling venture, the companies asked for millions of dollars in damages.

Megaupload, however, has its hands full on preparing their defense in the criminal case and asked the court to delay the civil suit for the time being.

This request has now been granted in part by District Court Judge Liam O’Grady, who “stayed” the lawsuit for 180 days.
