The founder of now shutdown file-sharing site Megaupload suffered another setback after being arrested over copyright infringement claims — he also lost his top ranking in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
That’s according Yahoo, which reports Kim Dotcom (Kim Schmitz) earned the Call of Duty “crown” on New Year’s Eve, with the name MEGARACER, only to see it slip away when he was later locked up and unable to play.
He was arrested in his New Zealand mansion when Megaupload was shutdown, around the same time the SOPA controversy hit a high in the United States, Yahoo reports. Several lawmakers have dropped support of the controversial legislation in the wake of protests from Google, Wikipedia, Reddit and others.
If you’re wondering who took his place in the Call of Duty rankings, it’s someone by the name Azaros.
