And now the pirates feel more than ever like Robin Hood fighting oppression on behalf of the little people. Good work, morons.

As a graphic artist, I've used Megaupload to share and download large graphics files, Photoshop brushes, and the like. And so it begins…

In other news, shops are being shut down because of shoplifting being illegal…

FML WTF FML WTF FML WTF FML WTF FML WTF FML WTF

Goes to show people outside of America need to be just as worried and have just as loud of a voice. Fuck these people trying to 1984 us.

If they put half as much effort into providing better services as they do into trying to shut down everything they don't control not only would they likely have even more profit but they would be much more liked.  @aln2, Well I am very mixed on it because I do think everyone should have to pay their fair share but when it's $1.29 a song I mean really (and I don't drink or smoke) and I still barley have enough to afford my media, so it's kind of ridiculous.

This isn't stopping anything. And those millions lost? Please they gained a hell of a lot more.

I knew this was gonna happen when the megaupload song was taken of youtube, not because it violated any laws but all those artists were in it, then it got put back on because people were complaining about the groups. All the big companies want is total control over media, which just isn't gonna happen, you stop one piracy website another 5 new ways of pirating pop up

funny how RIAA and other organizations are starting a witch hunt while their own artists support and run these sites.

*cries*
We had such good times.

Chop off one head, two more grow in it's place.

Oh dear god.

Oh for god's sake. Megaupload had legitimate, legal uses. Taking down a website cause it can be used to break copyright law is like closing down the post office because anthrax can be sent in envelopes.

Swizz Beatz? That's random. And Ken Dotcom is an awesome name.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Feds went after child pornography, identity theft and online scam artist with the same enthusiasm they use toward copyrighted music and movie downloads. I guess whichever has the biggest lobbyist gets priority. Nice going America.

See, if we had SOPA and PIPA, we could just shut down the pirates. Oh, wait… Never mind.

megaupload? never heard of such a site

All hail our government for protecting multi-billion dollar corporations. They did a great job today! And if anyone from the govt is monitoring these posts, let me say I have NEVER stolen any material from foreign serves; I swear! I'm with you 100%!
