In those emails, defendants falsely represented that infringing content had been removed when it had not been removed, Justice Department officials say.
The document also highlights one account holder that uploaded 16,950 files to sites the company owned, generating more than 34 million page views over the course of six years.
User "VV" was subject to numerous requests for removal, but records show no deletions of any of VV's uploaded files.
Megaupload paid user VV $3,400 through its rewards programme over the course of two years.

guess that's big money in Madhya Pradesh. |
there no fucking way that 34 million page views only paid out $3,400
Only one way this is possible, and that because MU only paid out for the legit sharing (CC, owned by the uploader, etc)
and revoked the commission for the infringing.
As for the removing the files, the safe harbor can be interpreted to be removing ACCESS, not the files themselves.
Removing the hyperlink only would still be complient with the safe harbor provision.
