  • I am the only getting a major douche vibe from this guy? It's not just the unseemly fact that no human being ought to be allowed to accrue so much wealth (and how he got it)… Maybe it was the bubbles.

  • He didn't steal anything. He made a service that a lot of people want. Blame the government for making something illegal that the entire country thinks is normal. Copyright law is so convoluted that even you haters infringe on a daily basis, intentionally or otherwise.

  • I knew nothing about this guy or the underworkings of megaupload before this broke. When I heard about this raid, I imagined some nerds in a cheap office or even an apartment somewhere— imagine Max's apartment in Pi. Anyway, the more I hear about how much he profited from copyright infringement, the less sympathetic I feel. This isn't some geek sticking it to The Man, he's just trying to funnel profits from other people's work to himself. Of course, that's what the Studios, RIAA, and MPAA are trying to do as well, but at least the artists they swindle signed contracts allowing themselves to be ripped off. The moral gulf between megaupload and the previously mentioned bodies is quite arguable, but they have a legal leg to stand on.

  • I don't think he seems cool. He seems like a weird socially rejected guy who is now overcompensating with money and hookers. He looks pretty irritating.

  • He doesn't own that mansion in NZ. The NZ government wouldn't allow him to purchase it because he's considered a character of ill repute. He just rents it.
