  • Megaupload seized and shut down

    Not breaking news, but I just saw the FBI screen. Sucks ass.
    I don't have the time it takes to recover from the day
    I sit and moan and mope and groan and never have my say

    Yeah bummer. Fileserve deleted all my files in reaction to what happened to MU, files I paid to store there that were not copyrighted.

      Why anyone would trust megaupload with their files is beyond me. It should've been pretty obvious to anyone who's even looked at the site, that that shit was pretty damned sketchy.

      Sucks that other filehosts are overreacting though. I don't really think any other filesharing service should be concerned, if it actually complies with dmca takedown requests, instead of faux complying like MU

          I didn't know about that, either.

            On some what.cd/IRC/soulseek/buying music tips as a result.

            I don't really see Mediafire remaining teflon for much longer in this climate tbh.

              No, I think we're about to see all file-sharing sites get hammered with this.

                yeah, save for the fact once you kill off 1 or 2, 5 or 10 new one's pop-up.

                  I guess it's back to torrents for me.

                  Aren't they trying to go after torrent sites now, too?

                    They've been going after torrent sites. Same problem, though. Take 1 down, 10 new ones appear in its place.

                    File sharing isn't going anywhere. It's been something done on the internet practically since inception and as much as the Goverment (rather big business, really) wants it to end, it won't. They'd have to shut the internet down entirely.

                      Pretty much.

                      Shutting Napster, Suprnova, OiNK, Megaupload and countless other services down didn't stop file sharing. People will just find other places to do it.
