Goddammit, internet, I leave you alone for five minutes and Megaupload is gone! Jesus fucking Christ!

ARG! That sucks so much.

I was thinking about Box.net, but, yeah, it looks like the files are too big...ARG.

alice_alaizabel January 19 2012, 21:51:46 UTC

Yeah. I really only used megaupload for the m4b of Part One because it's too big for any other site I could find. AND NOW IT'S GONE FOREVER

ARG.

I wish America would stop screwing up the internet too. While I understand why piracy is Bad and Wrong and Non-profitable-For-The-Man, this threatens WIKIPEDIA and FANDOM and aaaarg *wants to hurt them all*

Exactly. I mean, I don't really get how Megaupload can be held accountable because it's not like they're advertised as "Hey, come over here and illegally share movies/music/etc". They're a file sharing site, intended for perfectly legal purposes, but some (a lot) people abuse that. But that's not really the website's fault. Especially given that Megaupload is one of the few sites like that that has some support from artists who are damaged most by piracy.

Also; AMERICA, THE INTERNET IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY, STOP MESSING AROUND WITH IT.

Yeah.

Though, I don't think that any laws have gone into effect yet. Do you know if Megaupload going down is an advanced measure, cutting their losses while they can, or if there are Reasons?

No, don't think the bill's been put into action yet, but it does seem a bit suspect that Megaupload went down the day after the internet blackout.

brosedshield January 19 2012, 22:17:23 UTC

Yeah. :(

The bills are dead in the water, very unlikely to pass now. The FBI shut down Megaupload, and they say it's the result of a two-year investigation and has nothing to do with the recent bills or blackout yesterday, but it's still awfully coincidental.

Yeah, I heard the bill was unlikely to pass now, which is at least an upside. But it does seem like quite a big coincidence nonetheless.
