MegaUpload Dead



Stupid as shit. So because users illegally shared files it's their fault? That is like saying it is Kmart's fault that someone got stabbed for selling a knife to the murder.
 
Good luck keeping that site offline, maybe they should look into the owners reputation.
 
damn dude MU is a big name. Surprised that Rapidshare which has no doubt more files then MU is still in business.
 
damn, if they keep at it and get all the other sites, all of the educational materials on my hard drive will stop arriving.
 
Ah yes, Kimble. Got him him in Auckland, I wonder if he even thought it was possible. He could have been in a dozen other places if he wanted to be. He's been doing pretty damn well for himself for a long time.

Police say when they arrived at Dotcom's property at 6:45am, at first Dotcom's bodyguards would not let them in. There were 15 people at the house at the time, including employees and family members.
Two shotguns were found on the property, police are looking into whether these are restricted weapons in New Zealand.

All those arrested this morning will appear in the North Shore District Court this afternoon.
Police have also seized luxury cars with an estimated total value of up to $6m.
These include a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe valued at over NZ$500,000. Over $10m has also been seized from NZ financial institutions, including New Zealand government bonds.

Dotcom lives at the Chrisco mansion in Coatesville, north of Auckland, which he rents.
His application to buy it was declined by the Overseas Investment Office last year, according to the National Business Review. His application was initially approved, but then denied after then Associate Finance Minister Simon Power and Land Information Minister Maurice Williamson decided he did not meet the 'good character' test, according to the New Zealand Herald.

His application for residency was approved after he invested $10 million in government bonds and made a donation to the Christchurch earthquake fund, despite admitting two convictions – one for hacking, and another for insider trading.


Dotcom says the convictions were wiped under a German "clean slate" law.
"Officially I am as clean as it gets," he said last year.
"I am not a bad person with a bad character and, in my opinion, Simon Power is small minded and unreasonable.
"In New Zealand, murderers have been released from prison within a decade. You would think that the New Zealand Government believes in giving people a second chance."





Many New Zealand-based Twitter users this morning have been questioning whether agreements between the US and New Zealand allows extradition for copyright infringement.
Left-wing blogger Idiot/Savant tweeted: "copyright infringement is not an extraditeable (sic) offence according to the NZ-US treaty".
But legal blogger tweeted Graeme Edgeler said "people can be extradited from NZ to US for ANY offence that in both countries carries a penalty of at least 12 months' imprisonment".

.... Doesn't sound like he thought it was possible.
 
This just goes to show how PIPA/SOPA is unnecessary. They already have the power to go after sites; they just want to make it easier. Cunts.

I saw this posted on Facebook. It's unfortunate that people will seriously think they're "taking action" by doing nothing. Boycotting movies/music/video games for a month won't do anything.

Sure it will. What do you think will happen to their stock prices when they all miss their quarterly targets?
