It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that Megaupload has been shut down by the facist fed's working for the corrupt government which is owned by the ignorant greedy corporate bodies who do not care about your rights as human beings and just care about lining their pockets

Well if I owned a Fileshare and/or Warez site I would make sure I had it offshore with back-up servers on another offshore location, ideally trying to make sure it is hosted in a country that doesn't give a stuff what the US or it's patsies want.

I would be very concerned with any site claiming to be Megaupload until any of the poor buggers been arrested make official statement that their site is back - the inditment against doesn't make sense as how can they be responsible for people using megaupload for illegal purposes, which is against their T & C's also the prosecution state that Megaupload do delete files that they are made aware of.

What else can a company do - what is next Microsoft / Google etc... getting done because you can use their search engines to find illegal things

I couldn't agree with you more. They can say that Bing allows you to search for illegal info such as how to hack the DOJ's website. Or Google which own YouTube, has some video tutorials on the same subject. Or have a bunch of songs, shows, movies on their server. This is crazy! At the same time, it's interesting to see this battle as things unfold.

SOPA, PIPA postponed indefinitely after protest

Just read this on CNN. Politicians drop the bills like hot potatoes.
http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/20/technology/SOPA_PIPA_postponed/index.htm?hpt=hp_t3


However, the fact that the feds shut down Megaupload and arrested the owners indicates that the feds intend to enforce SOPA, PIPA whether the bills pass or not.

Popular file-sharing sites, Megaupload and Megavideo, were shut down by federal prosecutors on Thursday and H4ckers from Anonymous retaliated by launching an attack on federal and public Web sites: The online battle over Internet piracy just got personal.
Megaupload and Megavideo, content-sharing Web sites that receive more than 50 million hits per day, got taken down by the Department of Justice on Thursday after an indictment claimed the sites have committed copyright infringement.
The crackdown comes just one day after a mass online protest against two bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) currently being pushed forward and debated by Congress.
While the bills are being presented in an aim to stop music and video piracy, internet giants such as Google and Facebook are complaining that the legislation being proposed will lead to internet censorship.
Four company executives, including Megaupload's founder Kim Schmitz, were arrested after the indictment was delivered by the Department of Justice. The individuals have been accused of having involvement with copyright infringement and a conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to Wired.com.
The Department of Justice says the arrests made are unlinked to the SOPA and PIPA bills, but critics of the shutdown say this is the beginning of what will ultimately turn into widespread Internet censorship.
"You think it's a coincidence that the feds shutdown megavideo a day after the Websites blackout protesting the bills?" said freelance Web producer James Buran. "It's a war: Anonymos-1 Feds-1, let's see who makes the next move."
Those who try and access Megaupload's site are greeted with the following message:
"This domain name associated with the website Megaupload.com has been seized pursuant to an order issued by a U.S. District Court. A federal grand jury has indicted several individuals and entities allegedly involved in the operation of Megaupload.com and related Websites charging them with the following federal crimes: Conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and criminal copyright infringement."
Hours after the notice went up, Anonymous launched an attack on public Web sites including the Justice Department, Universal Music and other trade groups that represent the music and film industries and are the prime backers of SOPA and PIPA. All these sites are back online.
"The government takes down Megaupload? 15 minutes later Anonymous takes down government & record label sites," a ****** from Anonymous tweeted.

That's so true. People protested against SOPA and PIPA. So they killed the bill but demonstrated to all of us that it doesn't matter if we let the bill pass or not. They are in charge, so they do whatever the hell they want.
