Yeah I did read that. The police in the respective countries carried out the actual arrests. But since when did the U.S. see themselves the official justice department for the entire world? (I guess the answer is "since WWII") But how many people in the U.S. were being so irreversibly harmed by MegaUpload that our government felt such a need to command this world-wide operation.
- powertower 15y ago> But since when did the U.S. see themselves the official justice department for the entire world? I'm still confused on why you're confused. MU was distributing copyrighted material around the globe. The US gathered evidence, presented that evidence to its partners, partners made the arrest. It's a global network, there are various treaties, and there is cooperation.
- firefoxman1 15y agoWell that's what's in question. Nobody is sure yet, but the question is: did the U.S. overstep their boundaries on this one? That's really all it is on the surface.
- Seth_Kriticos 15y agoProbably a few dozen. All very well packed and with excellent tie-ins to officials. Welcome to the new democracy. Not to defend MU here. Just don't think all that many people felt the harm for what they were doing. And if you ask artists, they will probably point you in different direction.
