Not sure if you're aware, but at the time of writing this post, Megaupload is unavailable. Apparently, the company's owner was arrested by the FBI for piracy or something. Yes, a file hosting service's owner gets owned for providing nice an quality service.

Link to an article that explains more

According to this article, Megaupload has cost entertainment industries over $620 million. Now... isn't this funny? MW3 made $400 million in a day. Went to 17 billion in a few weeks. Smurfs Avatar made a bit less in the same time. These are the two majors in the entertainment, but when you look at these numbers you can see how $620 million isn't that great a number compared to what they actually make.

Just FYI, this is the 2nd time Megaupload gets taken down. After the first time, a song was made by various famous and semi-famous artists in support of the site. Yeah, the guys that are hurt most by piracy actually made a song to support the site.

EDIT: In answer to this, the largest hacking attack ever took place. Basically, everything went down. Read here:

That's the thing. The "why" is stupid. Yes, people host pirated stuff on ALL sites that allow users to host files without moderation. I doubt there is one without any pirated content on it. All video sharing sites, all file hosting services, all are cramped with pirated content. That means that those sites should be shut down?

There's the DMCA that does its job in protecting digital entertainment. Taking a provider of a service down and to prison because their users decided to host mp3s on their site.


@Axile xD SOPA isn't a threat anymore, we can rest. However, it is scary that the FBI doesn't need such an act, they can just act.

I know, the internet users took SOPA to Mordor! smile
