Fine, so you should have bought them 600 new hardrives, maybe they would have done the labor for free. It's not like they cost that much. Or maybe Kim should have done so, instead of starting new companies and living large in NZ.
You lease servers--for as long as you keep paying them. You get a 30 day or so grace period if you do not pay, but Kim got way more than that.
I wasn't asking or saying anything about Kim Dotcom.
I was commenting about the price of labor to replace 600 server's hard drives. If you use a team of 600 datacenter monkeys each taking out and replacing 1 server's drives at a time and gave them each an hour to do it... okay, that's $166 an hour per datacenter monkey. Those are highly paid technicians.
