Probably not - I wouldn't be surprised if they have the necessary warrants to instigate a search.

But there's plenty of questionable stuff going on though, like how do US laws apply to NZ residents?  How is extradition granted when the extradition treaty only covers stuff like terrorism and not copyright infringement?

Not the FBI.
Apparently user information (ie your account details) are stored on different servers from the ones seized.  The server providers are going to wipe them because Megaupload obviously aren't paying for them.
Guilty or innocent, MU's f**ked.

There is a class action lawsuit if you're really interested.
