So, the FBI shut down Megaupload.

Look, ma, no SOPA/PIPA necessary.

I just heard, and it feels like the end of an era...

I know. Is it bad that my first thought on hearing it was, "wow, I'm glad they waited until AFTER Sherlock S2 aired..."?

My first thought was "I'm glad I downloaded all those Sherlock fanmixes yesterday".

And now I'm thinking of hundreds of masterposts that are now completely useless, especially on tumblr.

Urg, yeah. And, of course, it's hardly something we can complain about, because, well.

To be honest, I'm surprised it took the FBI this long. I mean, I used it a lot to dl TV shows & such, but I won't miss it. And Megaupload was TERRIBLE about policing itself (which is probably why fandom loved it so much. *g*)
