That picture always gets me.

Also: it's not like MegaUpload didn't do every goddamned thing they're accused of.

The thing about Megaupload compared to other file sharing sites is, if the other ones had copyrighted material and the company wanted them down, the sites would do that. Megaupload didn't. I have no problem with them getting shut down.

Technically they've had legal grounds to shut down piracy sites for years, that they chose to do it now is either a coincidence or a sadistic joke

I think it was just bad timing on their part... not that I have any sympathy for the US Government...

If you look at the case they have against Megaupload, it must have taken some time to build. Same if you look at the process of actually getting an indictment etc. It's a coincidence.

No it isn't. An intelligent decision would have been to wait a month. This was a bust that was in the bag, and could have happened on any date. It was some immature FBI director trying to prove to a public who is boss.
In the end this will turn out to be a mistake.

Why should they wait. They made a case against people breaking the law and allowing them to continue breaking the law would only mean more money gone. They never wait, once a case is made once they feel they can arrest someone they strike.

Besides its not like congress and the DOJ are working together on this. People seem to think that congress gave up and then whispered to the DOJ behind our backs that Megaupload was a slut and the DOJ acted on it to get back for congress losing.

Megaupload committed a crime, FBI made sure they had a case, they struck.

They should have waited because some people will see this as a reaction to the censorship protest you may not have heard of.

[–]nitefang 0 points1 point ago

You obviously missed my point. Anyway, I don't think the FBI cares what you think. They have other concerns on their hands.

I knew what it was going to be before I clicked on the link. Hivemind assimilation has begun...

The picture would load for me at first, so I thought it was just an empty link. I was rather disappointed when I found out that there actually was a picture. It was funnier in my mind...

They did this now because Megaupload was going to launch a service for publishing music that pays the artists directly...
