Quote

An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart online piracy.

The government didn't even need SOPA or PIPA.

Good night, sweet prince.

From what I've read it sounds like Megaupload was run pretty shitty, it was only a matter of time before they got fucked. Oh well

Maybe Ninjavideos will make a return

If they ignored takedown requests from copyright holders than they kind of deserve getting taken down, if they did comply with them this is fucking bullshit.
