I think the point of this post is that we don't have any reason to believe that the Megaupload takedown is sinister. I happen to agree and don't think it should be downvoted. The Internet's reaction to these events seems really knee-jerk. Okay, the Megaupload case might have been a horrible abuse of government power. But right now it seems like a routine takedown of a business that supported itself mostly through illegal activity. This is standard operating practice from long before Internet piracy was a thing. So let's not make a big deal about something which might have been bad, but we have no reason to believe it actually was. If Megaupload turns out to be completely innocent, I'll join the bandwagon. But the grand jury indictment is so damning, it would really have to turn out to be mostly lies. Meanwhile there are real government abuses, such as the indefinite detention of terror suspects. Can we talk about those instead?
