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.

Swizz Beatz the CEO of Megaupload... that's hilarious! ;D

As messed up as it is... they had it coming to them. Downloading is not illegal in my country (yet), but I'm thankful for all the files I've taken off of that website. :)

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.

Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

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“.
