I actually downloaded some things on MegaUpload....... So whats gonna happen?

[PipoPito]

Everyone downloaded and uploaded something from megaupload! Nothing is gonna happen. America is slowly turning into the least country i want to visit. and all my lif it was the most i wanted.

It'll cost the government to much to money to go after all these individuals, they won't go after everyone instead they just charged the owner all accumulated charges I believe.

Phew, lucky I've never downloaded from Megaupload.

as soon as i get time to see this vid i will see it, then you will all get an experienced conspiracy theorist's opinion on this

[Garolymar]

I wouldn't worry, I doubt they could even afford to jail that many people, they'll most likely just go after a few heavy offenders to set an example.

Yes my sentiments exactly, They just charged the owner of megaupload a very heft fine basically making him pay most of the fines that had incurred from the pirating.

If the government does make this move, it will actually turn the people against the government. If 25% of the population is going to be imprisioned, then the government is screwed.

But I'm pretty safe, I use bittorrent and utorrent.

Yeah, just watched all of it... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- I've downloaded like a hundred songs of there XD

[HaHa-No]

Oh.
My.
God.

Nothing against Americans, but you have an incredibly screwy government, isn't this all shoving free speech into a ball and throwing it into space? The government are the people who THOUGHT to do that, and now they're the ones breaking it!

Welp, humanity's screwed, end of.

None taken, I think so too!
BTW, what is Megaupload?

[Waller]

BTW, what is Megaupload?

It was a popular site where you could download/upload practically everything.
It was a piracy fest.

Anyway, I wonder why the government started taking action on Megaupload now when ACTA was introduced 5 years ago... Probably has to do with the business Megaupload was going to start called "Megabox" which was going to practically render useless the music industry. (Read: bad for the government)
