Navo Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yoshi, before you start your with your damn useless arguments again: If you will not include a single valid source in your arguments I will lose all my respect I have for you (which is not alot after the discussion about BREIN) and will not bother to reply.

Ywa Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 MegaUpload is seized because there were actual criminal activities apart from the filehosting itself. That's probably the main reason.Proud RapidShare fag here. BlueYoshi97 1 Quote Link to comment

VMR Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't get how they can do this. This calls out conspiracy a long way. First approve of the NDAA, then take control of the media in the country. I'm just hoping for a revolution. Quote Link to comment

Tell him to spray himself with it, and if he doesn't - we might have problem. Quote Link to comment
Clavus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't think this is in any way SOPA related. The FBI doesn't do these kind of investigations in the span of a week. It's just coincidence.Sucks about MU but if they were really laundering money it's probably for the best. The site might come back again later. Probably with new management. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) RIP Megaupload.I actually hosted file patches for a crappy game I used to mod on. :<Good thing for mediafire and skydrive :3 Edited January 19, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment

Dr.Minky Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Good, lulsec should get involved too, hell get all those groups on, it wouldnt help the situation at all of course but it sure as hell would be fun to watch..If anything it just shows how the public will always be one step ahead anyway, even if they do pass SOPA (or similar)EDIT: I wish I had some popcorn for that update page, Edited January 19, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote Link to comment

Probably with new management.I didn't see any sign of that in the article I read, it just said that they made like 500 million in 2011. Which makes sense, because in the same article it said that it is was the 13th biggest site on the internet Quote Link to comment
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 It is indeed about copyright infringement. It is said that they made tons of money on pirated files by giving the ability to purchase premium accounts which increased download speeds and ladidadida. Quote Link to comment
