Yeap...gotta love the MPAA/RIAA pushing their weight around to get the govt to do their bidding...but whats funny is that alot of the artists don't give a fuck...they are already rich lol

He was spreading copyrighted material.....against the law

stars and artist backed him up but also alot were seuing the shit outta him too

Not really, he just sold bandwidth , his customers were pirating he claims he tryed to stop it. Idk I never used it.

Supposedly there were many internal emails at megaupload telling employees about content that was on there for them to download...not remove it...even though they did comply with copyright complaints kinda sorta...they put a cap of 5000/day on companies...but when there were 10,000/day uploaded...it severely upset the MPAA/RIAA

So I guess SOPA isnt needed after all ?

He provided the platform to do so though

its like when ya with a friend you know hes stealing but you dont and your with him your still just as responsible you get charged too

i will never understand why us here is the US feel we can push our laws and rules on everyone in the world weather they are an American citizen or not.

I am truly appalled at the National Defense Act that is currently in its bill form at DC. its purpose is to disband the bill of rights for American Citizens (thats right look it up, no more guarantee of trial or even to be told your crime) and assert that we do not observe those rights in any other nation either.

next are we going to post US cops on the autobahn and start handing out tickets to German citizens?

American Laws "SHOULD" only apply with in American Borders. We have not been elected to rule the world yet... and the way we are heading we are loosing the support of the majority of the world. We are no longer a beacon of freedom in the dark. we are turning into the sludge that is stagnating the future.

Okay imma try this once more with you in a different more simple way

okay you grow weed you distribute that weed to your dealers they go and sell it for you and you are making a profit off of it and suddenly a bunch of people have a severe reaction to your pot and die because these certain people were allergic to something in it ...........now the do you feel the guys who distribute it to them from you are responsible ....................or are you alone responsible..................... Or all of you are responsible ?

In reality this is a publicity stunt for the US gov tho shove down our throat, this will not even slow down internet file sharing.

It just amazes me that another SOVEREIGN country will bow before the great USA. DO it or we will stop sending you doritos. We do still make doritos, right?
wasnt sure we dont seem to make anything else.


I never Dl'd anything that I planed on buying anyways. As soon as 3d printers are up to it, i plan on dl'ing me a Ferrari.

actually you left a few parts out that are necessary make that a reasonable analogy.

it should also be stated that the weed itself was not dangerous but the way ppl chose to consume it was. the weed was only illegal in a far distant land. you did not sell the weed you gave it away but allowed ppl to pay for immediate uninterrupted access to it. the ppl did not actually die, it actually only ever hurt ppl who were in great physical condition, and even then only caused a mild head ache for them.

now with that added i think your statement would be a reasonable comparison.
