ATTENTION! MEGAUPLOAD HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY THE FEDS!!

[Hiendaoduc]

I finally settled here for an awesome Gaming music section and now they're partly gone (without any chance of re-uploading eh :-?)
Oh god, why...

[Coraje187]

Soon there will be ways around again like using upload sites that have no servers in the US and even if they US IP ban you there is "cough" proxy's. Then there's VPNs too.

lol

Good to see people making martyrs out of criminals. These dicks used lightweight pirates to get money off them with premium accounts, encouraged posting copyrighted material and even did some good, old fashion money laundering.

Truly they are the saviors of the internet cast down by the evil government.

Or they were, you know, massive piles of scum even by the standards of most people who pirate.

[lizard81288]

Yeah. I can't download gaming music, because that was mostly on MU, and I can't watch shows either, because Megavideo is also gone.

Speaking of MegaVideo, alot of other sites have also taken down videos too. All of the stuff I watch, I can no longer do so. I can't stream it or download it.

What a pain in the ass this is.

No one with a brain is saying they were good people. Still, I'm sure you pirate or you wouldn't be here.

I think that all the effort put towards trying to control the Internet is futile it was acknowledged (don't know who) long ago that the Internet is a run away train thats pretty much unstoppable. Every day it gets bigger, more complicated and stronger, something i bet none of these politicians have considered.

Yeah, I used Megavideo to watch some Japanese shows. Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Now, almost all the DDLs are gone. Some of them were uploaded three times. Unfortunately, that was on Megaupload, Fileserve, and Filesonic. All three are kaput.

Have all the uploading site's been rapidly deleting there files?Because when i now go to check any post here on emuapradise that has links to download games they are ALL deleted?Strange that the upload services knew what files to delete so quickly but yet kept them on there system prior to the megaupload bust-up.

Where are emuparadise FTP download servers located btw?

Filesizes make it obvious. A CD ISO will often be about 700MB. A DVD, 4.5GB.

Delete them, and the evidence isn't there if the FBI busts them. But I think they're over-reacting, as Mega's problem was money laundering, not piracy. Kim Dotcom is practically a mafioso.

[luffy4]

why would he need to launder money? he made over 100,000 a DAY through megaupload

Well it's not the IP problem, we all know there are ways around. But I seriously doubt that those uploaders will reupload again )

Just ROMs and porn, anything beyond that I say no to. And yeah, a good chunk of people thing that Megaupload are somehow victims in all this, despite the massive scam the ran. Hell, they basically used us to make oddles of money and we never saw a dime. Hell, we even gave them our money like idiots.

Also, lolmegavideo. Only time I used that service is when I had no choice. It was the worst video service I've ever seen.

[Gypsy]

Well, porn should always be free.

It was a pretty sweet racket they had going there.

I never used megavideo.

[gezegond]

Just ROMs and porn

Pirating Game Read Only Memories and pr0nz is EVIL! You thief, You fiend, YOU SCUM!!!

MegaUpload Users Planning to Sue FBI Over Lost Data
Posted 01/26/2012 at 2:58pm | by Ryan Whitwam

muAll the fire and brimstone rhetoric following the MegaUpload shutdown makes it seem like there was no legitimate use for the site. Despite that image, thousands of users were using MegaUpload to store and share their own files, which have now been lost. In response, Pirate Parties in several countries are putting together a list of affected users in preparation for a lawsuit against the FBI.

When MegaUpload vanished, users lost access to their peronal files without any chance to retrieve them. “The widespread damage caused by the sudden closure of Megaupload is unjustified and completely disproportionate to the aim intended,” the Pirates or Catalonia said in a statement. Along with Pirate Parties International, potential breaches of US law are being explored for use in the case.

Of course, MegaUpload was a shady business by all accounts, and users should not have left anything irreplaceable on its servers. This does bring up the question of what a company’s responsibility is when you store your files. If they lose it, should you be compensated?
