That blows. I had personal stuff on my MU account. Great. Oh-well. I also had OST too. Luckily I gave alt links here.
So where are the servers located for other sites like Mediafire and RapidShare?
So it also got shutdown because they employees were bragging about it?
Doing a quick wiki search should tell you about their geographical location. RS is based in Switzerland, but it's also one of the quickest to remove files from their database. All the RS urls I check are usually dead. Now with MU gone, I have lost access to a great deal of games and other stuff. Many of these "pirated material" are not being sold anymore, and for some of them, MegaUpload was the only method to access them. All those MU links I have found but didn't have time to download, their all gone.
There's still PIPA, though it's losing steam too.
That one's almost as bad.
So how can they arrest people? Is it because the servers were here?
All websites that pirate.... and sites like megaupload should now make the switch away from .com, .net and any other US controlled types of sites. I believe that's why Cosmo changed it to emuparadise.me
by the way guys mega upload is back they lost there domain name though here is the IP

Got there http://109.236.83.66/ you will like this
It's apparently enough to have a single server in the US to get arrested...
But doubt that with this there will be much people left keeping servers in the US... as long as these bills don't pass atleast these will be safe.
Thanks ^-^
Let's hope they could make some back-ups of the servers outside of the USA/Feds didn't put their hands on all of them...
Would atleast be some good news...
Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!
I agree kuro - maybe i could erase myself from whatever server i uploaded from(that MU might still have.)
Although I never uploaded anything (only photobucket stuff so far ) I think I comprehend the extent of this lunacy...
(even if I only started to have net this last winter... )
Freedom of speech, huh? They cannot take us that.
(Can they? )
But wow, I am really glad I joined here. You people are all on top of things.
It is just amazing and, to tell the truth, I kinda feel safe around you.
I guess this, like it was mentioned in this thread, will never end really, since there
are always measures to the counter-measures and so on.
(But yeah, what a bother... )
Foggy, never underestimate the Greed and Maliciousness of the Human Being , they will do WHAT EVER they can do get what they want.
If they have MONEY and POWER they will consider anyone lower in the Food chain to be ANTS to be STEPPED ON.
That goes double for the bastards stepping all over the constitution and Pissing on the forefathers graves.
Yeah, it is all about money and greediness in the end... as usual...
But geez, if they want to mess with the internet why don't they go after the things that are REALLY bad?
Like, for example, the other day, I was with my sister, searching for some images on Google for 'Cream the Rabbit'
(you know, from the Sonic franchise... yeah... ) So, anyway, even with the "safe mode" on, there were some
horrible images in the middle of the search. And when I mean "horrble" I mean: "not suitable for children".
So, in my opinion, if they want to make something actually useful, try that way, if they really have to be busy with something.
I would so like to shout: Hey, US misters! Go after the horrible people that promote child porn and arrest them instead now, will you?!
Seriously, somthing is certainly very wrong about this world, trust me...
