With this in mind, does it feel like the internet is slowly dying to anyone else?

Sounds like someone didn't have good enough lawyers to me. And/or a corrupted "justice" system.

They should probably get some better lawyers and go back to court. As it stands, it sets a bad precedent.

Unless the site actually did willfully and knowingly support and aid piracy, which I don't think it did (but I don't know all the details), and has served as merely a neutral tool, abiding by all reasonable laws, I fail to see how it did anything illegal. And if it didn't do anything illegal it shouldn't have been shut down. Failure of the justice system.

Using the same reasoning, ALL search engines should be shut down, ALL social networking sites should be shut down, ALL user-contributable sites should be shut down, ALL forums should be shut down, and there should be no way for users to provide feedback on even corporate websites. Everything would become static pages.

Can the older generations that support oppression just die off already? The good thing about the human condition is people die. Generations die. And sometimes only then can meaningful change take place. They can't hold onto their power forever. You lose the good with the bad but so it goes.

As cynical as it may be, I agree.

Steve Jobs said it pretty well: "[Death] is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

Mediafire has a 200mb limit though. Annoying to break movie files into parts.
