Megaupload closed by F.B.I.

[battle]

Exactly, like SOPA wasn't enough and now this. It's gonna be fun!

Edit: Found this now: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/01/19/anonymous-takes-down-doj-website-in-response-to-megaupload-case/

Edit 2: mpaa.org is down now aswell

They hit the wrong generation. A too large generation.



EDIT:

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.

That will make things 1000000 times worse for them self trust me, it will, and read my above post.

All this Anonymous business is only going to make things a whole lot worse for everyone. That's all they ever do make things worse.

[Kizzu]

I'm really cheering for Anonymous.

I hope they expose all the dirties...bank transactions, etc.

Just like they did in here, in Portugal.

Okay. Let them stop doing what they're doing so we can all be assraped by the government. (That was sarcastic.) They're doing more than you're doing.

As of now I'm happy due to this,

Taking down sites gives more of a reason for a Government to do things like this.

[Marcell]

the reason why MU got down is because they didnt force customers in lame way to pay for premium - rapidshare acumulatted millions from premium accounts alone, thus they have enough good lawyers not to go down, no matter what. Megaupload was one of those cool sites, and the fact its called 'mega pirating site' lately is just bullshit, they always removed pirated stuff as long as they realised it's pirated.

fuck the police.

AFAIK, Obama is against SOPA so it will be harder to pass. Anonymous seems to have made things worse, now the government has a real reason to go after them. For now, i'm neutral on this one.

Megaupload deserved it. When you knowingly host copyrighted content and repeatedly ignore DMCA takedown notices, you're violating the law. Just like the police will take down a drug dealer. Sure, he may not be making the drugs himself, but he's still in violation of the law.

The people who owned the website made a stupid choice in living in a country that will extradite you to the US. had they lived in a place like Hong Kong (Where their site is hosted) the US could not touch them. This is why many Chinese torrenting sites and even Pirate Bay cant be touched by the US in this way, because the owners reside in a country that wont extradite you.

If the government hadn't shut down Megaupload at first, they would have never done such thing.

See people like you, is what makes the people bad, Submitting to the government actions, and accepting anything they do is wrong, They are there to work for us, for the society, we pay their salaries. Sure it ain't right to do anything you want, But the freedom of speech is one of the major social conquers the world ever had, and it should not be blocked for Companies own personal interests.

[Squeak]

Get ready for a furthering into a police state and more wars, guys. It's going to be a long ride.

[Wolfe]

Freaking crazy, just don't join the ride cause I like using the interwebs. and no i do not mean to get myself fucked :P Tho' i get quite an urge at every moment to do it.

Finally they're admiting the PRC has a far advantadge on this and they want to be like them.

implying China can even come close to the amount of rights violated by the US.
