http://techland.time.com/2012/01/19/feds-shut-down-megaupload-com-file-sharing-website/ (Longer article) ... This isn't good news. This means other sites like RapidShare, Mediafire, ... soon follow. Why? If this is the start of that stupid SOPA act... well... they are using it wrong.
I am keeping a close eye on this subject. Even somebody from the Netherlands is arrested. I read that every employee is arrested. Everyone of them
Aww... This means that I'ma gonna have to start using Rapidshit again. Anyway, the indidments for the arrested people were filed on the 5th. So this isn't spur of the moment, it's been in the works for a couple of weeks. Read a diffrient article, but its not just MU that was shut down. It was the entire Mega network. Anyway, given the timing... who's going to site back and watch the now forming Megashitstorm? Edit - didn't read the part about everyone getting arrested. Just most/all of the higher ups. Also, all the people in the ISP Cogent Communication Headquarters (In DC) are being detained in relation to this.
Are you talking about COCINA (Messed up abbreviation I think, but you should know what I'm reffering to) or PIPA? I'm not releasing my sources for this, but I've heard that anonymous might go on a ddos'ing spree because of this. The ddos'ing spree might not be what happens, but odd's are that anon will do something about it. I'm going to go stock up on popcorn. I've got a feeling that this will soon turn into a shitstorm of biblical scale.
bear in mind that this may not be entirely piracy related, the founder of megaupload was already wanted on numerous unrelated criminal charges dating from before he created megaupload.
