fx4_ever Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Megaupload is down. Is this mean all other similar sites will be down in near future? How about the people upload to these sites or members who registered? How about all forums who share files such as this forum? :-O http://i39.tinypic.com/35d6mgk.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddman Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) More Closures are to be expected, stay low or Obama will get you too. Soon all file sharing and P2P sites will become a memory of the past. Obama is turning out to be dangerous to freedom with his Hope & Change election campaign.

ForexMike Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Apparently second server site is down but real site will be still going ( Just something i heard on other P2P site With the arrest of the owners and warrants for several more associates, they don't dare to start back up and make the case against them worse than it already is. Think about it, if you were the owner of the site and had your freedom, assets, etc and pending lawsuits coming, would you start back up again? I wouldn't.

pippino Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I dont understood this, what they think, what will happen? If every sharing site will be closed, or the whole internet, I will go to the closest friend with a hdd and copy the stuff I need. Back to the old days? Then they can make some pretty statistics: pirates disappeared, copytheft down -> hhahaha MegaLOL Would be good to see a MegaReload [-O< Share boys everything on another sites, use multiupload.com for example.

FxNewbie Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 the worst part of this is there is a genuine need for these file-sharing sites. This is adversely affecting tens of thousands of legitimate users. I think we are living in scary times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanhess Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Marc Faber is right ..... Obama makes Bush look like a genius. Instead of going after Gibson guitar and the file sharing sites why doesn't he do something about this ------> http://www.bl0gster.com/feduptohere/the-3-main-wall-street-destroyers-now-employed-by-obama-administration maddman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakgib Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 maybe going back using the old trustry IRC (Internet Relay Chat) in the past and sometimes i stil use Mirc to go the a certen server and download files using Mirc i think it is one of the safest ways and hard to detect where the files are located.

⭐ Tradeselect Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 With over 150 million registered users, the file sharing site MegaUpload.com is one of the most popular on the Internet. At least, it was. The site has now been seized by the US government and its homepage converted to an FBI anti-piracy warning. Its founder, a high tech entrepreneur named Kim Dotcom (yes, he had it legally changed), was arrested in New Zealand after his homes were raided and assets seized. These actions were all at the behest of the US government. And it's just the latest example of Big Brother overextending its authority across the entire world. Last week, we discussed the grassroots efforts to stop passage of the SOPA/PIPA legislation that would give the US government jurisdiction over the Internet. Wikipedia blacked out its English language pages to raise awareness of the issue, and people went completely nuts. Congress subsequently withdrew the bills amid popular outcry, and the public rejoiced that their efforts successfully thwarted further encroachment on their liberty. Or so they thought. On the exact same day that everyone was celebrating victory over SOPA/PIPA, the US government simply used another set of regulations to nab Dotcom and seize his assets. The fact that SOPA was s****ped turned out to be completely irrelevant, they just found other rules to apply (or break). As usual, it's probably not legal. But such technicalities don't matter in the 'guilty until proven innocent' system in which we live. Executive agencies exercise extreme latitude when confiscating assets, and victims often don't have the opportunity to address the matter in front of a judge for years, if ever. In Dotcom's case, the man probably won't even successfully make it past the extradition process for at least a year... let alone bring the issue to trial. The government is using its bureaucracy to completely circumvent due process and make an example of somebody that they consider a nuisance. So why should they care? What interest could the US government possibly have in a silly file sharing site? None. But the entertainment industry does. You see, we don't live in a representative democracy. Democracy is an illusion to make people believe that they're free. Instead, it's blocs of large corporations who are really in control. If the entertainment business wants Kim Dotcom to go away, the government will invent or break any law necessary to make it happen. They're all in bed together. What's more, it doesn't matter which group or party is in power. Democrat or Republican, Labour or Conservative, Liberal or New Democratic... they're all for sale. Citizens concern themselves with the outcome of elections, investing heavy emotional and financial support for 'their guy'. Companies just wait it out and buy off whichever candidates win. Kim Dotcom, though a wealthy and successful entrepreneur, was essentially a lone wolf standing against the entire industry. Rather than find ways to work with him in what is clearly emerging as a dominant media platform, they chose to eliminate him... by having the US government send the New Zealand government to arrest him and seize his assets. It's mind numbing when you really think about it. Ultimately, Dotcom may successfully find his way back to a normal life after years in court and perhaps some time in jail. In the meantime, though, his case certainly makes a strong argument for flying under the radar. It's a stark reminder that, if they really want to get you, they'll apply, invent, or break whatever laws are necessary to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippino Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 In my op., partly this wasn't a good step on their side, because the community will now be more carefull - I hope. I hope there will be smart peoples who fight back with technology. And now what will step the 150 million people? I think they will look for the next easiest sharing method.

ForexRules Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It was the big businesses like Microsoft and others that wanted to stop the illegal piracy of their programs. In order to do so, they had to do a lot of investigating to see which of the file shares was the biggest fish then go after the next in size, etc. The warez sites along with torrents would be next. We all knew it would eventually come down to this movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
