When did we end up in a society where "Do you really think..." is sufficient for judge, jury, and execution?
The fuss is not about megaupload. The fuss is about the MPAA and the RIAA teaming up with law enforcement to make sites and businesses that they don't like disappear from the internet, without due process.
It's been said before, but your whole post describes pre-google youtube. The only difference is they didn't use ads. It's worth noting, the charges against megaupload have nothing to do with any dirty business using ads.

Since when is "equipment subpoenaed via grand jury indictment" not due process? I'm all for arguing if what's happening should/should not be allowed, but let's at least get the facts straight on "what's happening" first.
