Re: Megaupload is gone....
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. |

Re: Megaupload is gone....

Is this what you're referring to? edit: lol I like how they misrepresent Megaupload by calling it a "piracy hub". Whoever wrote this article is kinda dumb. Last edited by Emithith; 01-19-2012 at 04:45 PM.. |

Re: Megaupload is gone....
time to reup ALL the packs. When we get our T1 installed I can host gigs o packs. The best idea would be to update the SM packs torrent and work on getting a good amount of seeds.

Re: Megaupload is gone....
I keep forgetting to say..
How are they going to stop me from IM-ing my files to people? Eh? After they shut down all the file transfer sites, ThePirateBay, etc, are they going to shut down Microsoft for making an IM that can Transfer files? Extremist point, but.. |
