Megaupload files countersuit against Universal, FBI moves in.
Good thing I'm not the paranoid kind.
- libraryatnight 15y agoMy thoughts exactly. And, the day after SOPA/PIPA blackouts feds take down a site some were using as a SOPA/PIPA poster child, that generates headlines on FOX like this: Feds say 7 from Megaupload.com ran massive worldwide piracy website http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/01/19/feds-shut-down-file-sharing-website/ http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/01/19/feds-shut-down-fil...
- zotz 15y agoI'm waiting for the "terrorist" angle to be used with Megaupload or perhaps the next target. I'm a little surprised the Feds haven't played that card yet.
- unreal37 15y agoYeah, its the "day after the blackout" which I think is a favor to the MPAA/RIAA folks. "Let's erase these 'sopa is bad' stories from the nightly news and replace them with a good evil pirates tale."
- Florin_Andrei 15y agoI "like" how the news is plastered all over the Internet that the "government" has taken down Megaupload. Like small children, fascinated by the sock puppet, forgetting the hand that actually moves it. It's very clear now, we live in a plutocracy. Big corporations are above the law in every single way that matters.
- zotz 15y ago> we live in a plutocracy I prefer the word "synarchism", as used by Fairbank and King: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synarchy#China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synarchy#China
- rjd 15y agoIf you want to become more paranoid then look at it this way : German citizen arrested in New Zealand for breaking US laws.
