Re: Megaupload is gone....
I wouldn't be so quick to believe that site is legit, it's the source page of one http://www.megavideo.bz/
The .bz address is for Belize, the registrant is in Argentina (notice how if you click the twitter link a lot of the tweets are in Spanish?), but Megaupload was based in Hong Kong. Until I see download links I wouldn't trust it. Any dummy can put that page up. Quote:

Re: Megaupload is gone....
yes, clearly this shutdown of a site hosting illegal material was mandated by a bill that hasn't even passed yet

Re: Megaupload is gone....
This has no direct correlation with SOPA, but part of me does wonder if the timing of this shutdown had to do with the "blackout" event that happened yesterday.
In any case, I'm wondering how much longer other popular file hosting sites like 4shared, Rapidshare, and Mediafire will have, since they all have bits of pirated content on their servers; they don't seem to be hesitant to bring down these sites, even if a majority of the content is legitimate. I personally can't understand the logic of bringing down a site where a very small portion of the material is violating DMCA laws -- it's ridiculous to pull something that could be holding personal content for many different people. |

Re: Megaupload is gone....
this whole deal is kinda shitty and all, and doesn't really bode well for other file sharing sites, but if you think this ruling has literally anything to do with SOPA and/or PIPA, you're ****ing stupid.
if anything it shows why SOPA/PIPA have been presented in the first place; people in congress know literally nothing about technology and care only about buying their seats back. fucen dying at the idea of a bunch of old white dudes going ham to *****s in Paris |

Re: Megaupload is gone....
I just find it funny how all the news articles I have read so far depict Megaupload as some crime syndicate that is like "notorious" and "a hub of piracy". None of the articles I have read so far actually tell the truth, like "Only about 20% (or some number) of the site had piracy in it."

Re: Megaupload is gone....
Like I said in my last post (#82) anyone with a tiny bit of web knowledge and a server can put up that page, then share the IP around to make it sound "secret". The registrant is in Argentina, MegaUpload did not have any staff in South America. So unless download links suddenly appear, that's probably a fake.
Personally I believe UMG is involved in this somehow. That whole scandal with some of their artists appearing on a video put out by MU happened only a month ago. UMG has billions of dollars, and the feds love money.
