> Megaupload never complied with DMCA requests - I made several as part of some research and never received any response.

Er, was this content that you held the copyrights to? That statement seems to imply otherwise, which wouldn't really be ok (or itself compliant with the DMCA).

That statement doesn't imply anything of the sort. I acted as agent for the copyright holders.

I had the exact same question as magicalist. So, even if you don't think that it implies not having the rights, it can certainly be read as such.
