Re: Federal Government Shuts Down Megaupload
So it's finally gotten to the point that they are charging service providers instead of the users that commit the said copyright crimes? ffs...
Just because they provide hosting doesn't mean they provide hosting for copyrighted stuff. I'm sure they even have rules and regulations in their ToS, I haven't used megaupload in forever though and haven't read it.

This pretty much sums up what happens when sites and persons think they are outside U.S. jurisdiction (the original news article is here):Brad wrote:The weird thing about this situation though is the fact that this (and most of these sites) are operated outside of U.S. jurisdiction. I don't really know how the law works in regards to foreign businesses breaking U.S. laws, though the article does say that the arrests were made by New Zealand law enforcement. So it would stand to reason that the site was also taken offline by whoever operated their servers/internet connection in NZ.
"Many question whether O'Dwyer should face trial in the US, considering that he's never been to the states and TVShack didn't use US servers. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, however, maintains that any internet domain ending in .com or .net is fair game for US authorities as the company that provides those particular suffixes falls under US jurisdiction."

Re: Federal Government Shuts Down Megaupload
Words cannot describe how insanely pissed off I am since I had so much stuff hosted on there and I got a premium lifetime subscription which was the best thing ever.

Re: Federal Government Shuts Down Megaupload
Man I was thinking the same. If MU is gone, I just hope FileServe, MediaFire and the rest of host servers might not have the same luck
