Feds shut down MEGAUPLOAD (1 Viewer)

[Boogee134]

McLEAN, Va. – Federal prosecutors in Virginia have shut down one of the world's largest file-sharing sites, Megaupload.com, and charged its founder and others with violating piracy laws.
The indictment accuses the company of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed Thursday, one day after websites shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs.
Megaupload.com has claimed it is diligent in responding to complaints about pirated material.
The indictment says at one point, Megaupload was the 13th most popular website in the world.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Seriously though, that's gonna be like playing wack-a-mole.
I have serious doubts that online piracy is coming to an end any time soon.

Brown adds that “more is coming” and Anonymous-aligned hacktivists are pursuing a joint effort with others to “damage campaign raising abilities of remaining Democrats who support SOPA.”

Who'd have thought...the revolution was started when they took away our free music.

Those tentacle rape enthusiasts.

If they want to stand up for something, they should get out of the chair and open the curtains to start.

I thought this was funny, it says tell your parents, neighbors, teachers. lol I doubt any of them would even know anything about this. Seeing that my father is probably the youngest of all listed at 58.
