Title: FBI shuts down Megaupload 24 hours after Swiss Beatz revealed as CEO
Post by: Beats By dre on January 19, 2012, 01:33:08 PM
Federal prosecuters have shut down popular file-sharing site Megaupload.com and charged its founders with a number of felonies, according to a statement by the Department of Justice and the FBI.

The DOJ indictment alleges that a vast criminal enterprise led by Kim Dotcom has caused more than $500 million in harm to copyright owners, while generating more than $175 million in criminal proceeds. Dotcom founded Megaupload Limited, and has vigoursly defended Megaupload as a legitimate website and said previously that the site took down piracy violators in accordance with DMCA rules.

Megaupload was at one time the 13th most popular website on the Internet. Similar sites to Megaupload like MediaFire, YouSendIt and Rapidshare provide file-sharing services, so we wonder if the government intends to target them as well.

Megaupload should be considered at least top 5 at least.  Too bad it wasn't crap filehosts like fileserve & filepost.

On top of the chain it was a German running it, he employed famous black Americans because he's the type of dude who can't wait for Detox and wanted an Afro-American entourage. You see that fat guy around the 2 minute mark? That's him.

lmao peep this:

Das letzte für alle sichtbare Lebenszeichen von Kim Schmitz ist gut drei Wochen alt und steht auf der Videoplattform Youtube. Dort feiert sich der Internetunternehmer selbst, weil er in dem Kriegsvideospiel „Modern Warfare 3“ nach eigenen Angaben den ersten Platz unter mehr als 15 Millionen Onlinespielern belegt hatte. „Hasst mich nicht, weil ich Euch schlage“, schrieb Kim Schmitz unter das Video, „respektiert mich weil ich Euch etwas lehre“.

Guys - Don't be fooled for one second. They will never shut down "illegal" file sharing. This is being driven by corporations (IE: Entertainment industry) that fund political campaigns. Once the latest one is over, new or existing file sharing programs and software will be back. It's inevitable, and in fact helps the industry more than damage it. People believe that to be insane, but it's not. I have lost count the amount of DVD's, or music CD's that I've bought AFTER downloading them

The internet is far too big, and devious for them to touch and keep up with

New megaupload is back for U.S. users, but its different & difficult to use  >:(  Gotta be on chrome or comodo to use it.  When downloading it, you gotta wait till the bar reaches 100% then you get asked where you want the downloaded file/clip put at when finished.  And once you upload stuff it automatically uploads.
