Megaupload has been shut down.

[heiska]

One can only laugh at the arrogance of some members here. Megaupload complied with every DMCA takedown request. So which law did they exactly break?

That money never existed, therefore it didn't belong to anyone. I note that both the film and music industries have had a bumper couple of years. You seem highly invested in your own rhetoric, which isn't that surprising given your handle.

I dont know why you put 'fuck the corporations' in quotes, I never said that, thanks for putting words in my mouth though. I advocated rather than taking criminal actions as Annon are doing, that people should vote with their wallets. You have a problem with that?

If you cant be bothered to read a post, you shouldn't bother to reply. I also never condoned piracy, I said the system behind copyright is broken, and could be worked in a way that increases the pay for artists - whats wrong with that assertion.

Why megaupload? There are tons of file sharing websites like this...

America DOES NOT OWN THE INTERNET.

They broke the law, and have you ever downloaded some music, photoshop, windows 7? Pretty sure you have. So should you be extradited too?

I stopped reading at this point... you're right, piracy is the right thing to do

I did not want to write anything anymore in this topic, but here i will answer you just in a unrelevant way like you are doing the whole time.

The US currently has 3 aircraft carriers stationed right at the Iran's coast. What do you think would happen if Russia would do the same and there would be 3 russian aircraft carriers paddling some kilometers away from NY?

I want to start behaving like the US, and stop the average Mumbo Jumbo living in some nigerian country giving away my overpriced western country garbage products for free, to people who would never even think a second about buying it.

Most artists are terrible as fuck when it comes to marketing,that's why they have to use the current model. There are a few that actually try something different. Like the comedian who sold a download of one of his shows for $5. He was able to get 200,000 sales of it and $1 million,after donating 1/4 to charity and paying 1/2 on expenses he kept $250,000 of it.

OH MY GOD... why are you playing dumb?? 99% of their content is copyrighted. Every possible movie, tv episode was hosted on their site. You can't possibly expect someone to report all this shit.

WE ALL KNOW HOW MEGAUPLOAD WAS ACTUALLY USED!! DONT PLAY DUMB

all of this is irrelevant... just because someone does wrong, that doesn't excuse your wrong actions.

That's a fallacy.

You are becoming annoying by spouting 'facts' which are untrue and generally not understanding forum etiquette. I suggest you have an early night and stop posting unless you are going to raise the quality of your posts.

Guys, dont feed trolls.

we also know that all of the user generated content sites are copyrighted

like facebook , youtube other file sharing sites etc

so they also should get shut down ?

As a lawyer, please answer the question.

ok what was wrong with my latest argument??

Is it not true that VAST MAJORITY of their content is copyrighted?? That's why so many uploaders used it because it was rarely taken down.

If MegaUpload was following the law, why hide and host it in switzerland or whatever

 

[karkade]

I think the more surprising thing is that Swizz Beats aka Alicia Keys' husband aka Kasseem Dean is the CEO of MegaUpload... that blew my mind.

If I remember well, House MD (by FOX) suffered from budget cuts and Season 7 is the last season. The show is over from lack of funding.

The StarGate franchise (by MGM) suffered from the exact same thing. Before 2005 StarGate SG-1 was doing pretty well - TV channels were buying. But when the WWW started hosting all these shows - SGA did poor, and SGU did shit.

From this perspective things are true, but they're enforcing it on the Internet (on us) because it's handy for them. Bill Gates in turn chose to go for companies and develop software on top of their money. Office and Windows products are the #1 all-time download on TPB and I don't see any Microsoft officials pushing the FBI.

You were warned - and I dont play with trolls.

You can come back in 6 months, or your 18th birthday, whichever is first.
