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

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

you seem to take all this as a joke, sadly its not.

Well, taking it as a joke is going a bit far, but I do agree that this guy is overstating things. At the same time though, it's a worrying scenario that's worth at least thinking about. And then sitting back and discarding the worry. Know why? If they are really going to come after you for having uploaded stuff there, there's nothing you can do now anyway, except prepare for a court case. I'd say hold off on preparing until you actually get dragged to court over it.

Perhaps I take too much of a relaxed attitude, but there's nothing you can do to change it if they really are going to come after you on this.

Hells, my thrice downloaded OST of Bastion would set me back by 450.000 dollars, if they take the soundtrack as one infringement. If they take every song, it'd be about 9.9 million dollars. Somehow I doubt that SuperGiant Games was set back that much by my upload, but there you are.

I hate humanity.

I think if Megaupload gets out of it then they will come after those who use it.

Do you guys remember what happened to Mininova? They were shut down [momentarily] and now serve legal things like mixtapes, fanfics, and other relativly boring items...do you think Megaupload will have the chance [aside from all the accusations] to "system reset" itsself"?

Also I've been wondering about this while I was reading about Megauploads removal...The Pirate Bay (a p2p site known for piracy...) is and has been up for many years. TPB is one of the most popular p2p sites around or at least you've probably heard of it. So my question is--> with all the p2p sites out there and other file storing sites [multiupload/filesonic/esnips/etc.] why was Megaupload targeted? I know they *had* TONS of copyright infringement going on, but so does [practically] every other fileuploading/p2p site.

gypsy - i'm female and love that movie...so much that i have three different copies of the trilogy! and an old ass second print of the books/w the hobbit and silmarillion.

I hate everything though, so you know.

Good, good. I can feel the hate flowing through you.

It was because they had a server in Virginia. At least, I think it was Virginia. I don't see it coming back as the owner has a warrant out for his arrest. That and well, it's apparently a "conspiracy." And having a site that had conspiracy flags waving around isn't neccesairly a good thing.

TPB is different. They're stationed in Sweden (I believe that's where they are) and don't have servers in the USA period. I feel like they were some back room deals regarding them no taking it down to be honest though.

I love how we keep acting like internet censorship means the end of everything where there are countries where you can be stoned to death for making software you didn't know would be used by pirates.
