Re: Megaupload is gone....

you and me both brother.

BBC Just released a post on the subject.

It says at the bottom of the post that they will probably not be putting in SOPA as it is, but might just do it themselves.

I'd be surprised if Mediafire were closed down

Megaupload was arguably quite sketchier in how it pulled things off

Yeah not gonna deny, Megaupload was sketchy as hell compared to Mediafire.

I think it's hilarious that the content industry is trying to pass laws like SOPA because they claim the law doesn't effectively cover the internet, while at the same time using existing laws to take down one of the largest sites in the world.

Still sucks though.

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."
