The point is they wouldn't object *because* there is a conflict of interest and it may affect their testimony.The government should not be concerned about these potential conflicts of interest. The cited clients are highly sophisticated and can object on their own if they feel that Quinn's representation is improper.
How is this not legitimate? Megaupload has hired a law firm which also represents witnesses that are going testify against them.Sure we do. It's the illegitimate ones like this that we're worried about.
..
The article says the government plans to call Google and Youtube as witnesses against Megaupload; however in other active cases Google and Youtube are represented by the lawyer they'll be testifying against. This is a legitimate conflict of interest.
they're too good and we might loose!"
Google and YouTube are not being called to testify against Schapiro, they are being called to testify against dotcom.
Yet, if the Government is to have its way in this case, the only lawyers before the Court will be those representing the Government. If the Government is to have its way, the only evidence available to the Court would be that cherry-picked by the Government, for the Government, from the universe of relevant servers slated to be wiped. If the Government is to have its way, in sum, Megaupload will never get its day in Court and the case will effectively be over before it has even begun.
The Government well knows that the stakes in this case are massive; the intellectual property issues complex and novel; the universe of electronically stored information (ESI) potentially oceanic in scope (provided that the ESI remains preserved, over the Governments objections). It well knows that mounting a robust defense will test the resources of even the largest, most sophisticated law firms; will require canvassing and mining ESI on the scale associated with the largest civil discoveries; will entail teams of lawyers working with teams of forensic imagers and other outside experts. It well knows that having the right counsel, Megauploads chosen counsel, on the side of the defense could make all the difference. And it knows that no such counsel would realistically be willing to litigate this case through to trial for free or without sufficient resourcesor that any such counsel, even if willing, would have litigated at least a prior copyright dispute or two involving a work or a client somehow implicated within the ocean of ESI stored by Megaupload, which the Government would then claim is itself disqualifying. Knowing all this, the Government appears unwilling to litigate fair and square. Instead, it is acting to vitiate Megauploads defense before the merits are ever reached
More shit from the worthless whores in the government.
If they're so worried about conflict of interest, why do they allow corporate donations that are essentially bribes when they are actually supposed to represent the people?
Until they can answer that question without boldfaced lying the US Govt. can fuck off.

I like this part:
The instant circumstances are such that the Government is insisting upon continued freezing of all of Megauploads assets without regard for either the costs of its defense or the disconnect between assets seized and charges substantiated; seeking to disqualify any counsel positioned to represent Megaupload effectively; resisting the only procedural mechanism whereby a Farmer motion for release of assets might be prudently heard; and opposing preservation of servers potentially critical to Megauploads defense. Each circumstance is, by itself, unsettling. Taken together, however, they would amount to denying any semblance of due process and fundamental fairness
