I think its high ball. The servers were no doubt paid-for by that point.
The only real cost they could have is depreciation on the servers themselves and power to keep them on. I dont think its fair to call potential income they could get from re-renting them lost money, as its not like leaseweb stopped taking customer orders.
Also, I think this is actually going to be good for Kim. While everyone from the MU side denys it, the overwhelming use for MU was infringing content. By LW deleting this, I believe it benefits MU more than it hurts them. Prosecution has to prove guilt, not the other way around. If evidence gets deleted that goes to serve MU, not the USDOJ.
