Yeah, you read correctly, once of the biggest file sharing websites in the world has been shut down.

What are your thoughts on this?

The shit is gonna hit the fan now, especially with the current SOPA discussion.

This will be interesting to follow.

The announcement came a day after thousands of websites took part in a "blackout" to protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa).

The US Chamber of Commerce has defended the proposed laws saying that enforcement agencies "lack the tools" to effectively apply existing intellectual property laws to the digital world.

I hope other file sharing websites won't follow suit because I'm still paying for RapidShare.

PM is not a unban section! Wait for a manager to look at your topic.

Not for long Hevar if FBI actually manages to get the megaupload people convicted. Then Speedyshare, Rapidshare and every other similar service, even without SOPA.

But my biggest question if in this, why not close down Google in the same time? Even if Google is not standing behind Piracy, their own search engine can be used for piracy.
