Feds shut down megaupload and arrest executives

[strongbad]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
it was against their ToS to host copyrighted content and they removed copyrighted stuff when it appeared. how is this any different from youtube or mediafire?

so fucked up that the execs were arrested too
i have such little hope for the internet

the cia and the fbi are allowed to do whatever they want.

[strongbad]

duuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

not at all actually
megaupload is a legitimate service. the fact that they were shut down with no warning or reason is fucking ridiculous

It looks like corporations still have ridiculous power without SOPA. I doubt this was really planned ahead of time, they just needed to channel their butthurtedness to something "productive".
