Safe to say I'll be using Rapidshare for my variant file posts till that is shut down to. I defenitely am not replacing all the files I have posted up to now. People will just have to search through DA

Talk about a baby temper tantrum GUB'MENT style.
This is the equivalent of arresting the inventor of the knife because people are getting stabbed.

Hahaha, oh wow. Way to add more fuel to the fire, guys.

My reaction after realizing I won't be able to see recent Top Gear or Sherlock episodes on Megavideo anymore:

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Well, that was unexpected.

In a way, I'm glad; I managed to download a freeware game I was looking for from there a day before this happened, so I'm kind of lucky.

I didn't really use MegaUpload that much at all, but it's still a pity.

Apparently they were up to other stuff too, I've lost the link to the report, but something about their viewpoints for money went under money-laundering, so it's more for than just being a file uploader. But it really doesn't matter now that they have them being sent to America now.

But anyway, I've been fond of "Arresting someone who builds a house and sells it because the people inside of it have committed crimes"

Well. Fuck. I mainly used this to download older anime series since bit torrent doesn't do the job nearly fast enough. Anybody know what I should use here on?

Mediafire is great and isn't run by racketeers and money launderers.

Under American law that's not a crime. So it would be somebody else's problem. Possibly Malaysia. They have strict religious laws and strict anti-piracy laws. A rare combination on Earth, actually.
