    Apparently this "investigation" of megaupload has been going on for two years, so it's not like they just decided to shut them down now. This also has absolutely nothing to do with the recent SOPA/PIPA development and protests, it's just a coinciding event that would have happened regardless.

    Though, I don't understand how it could take a whole two years for them to get a site like that shut down.

    But whatever, there are a lot of sites like megaupload out there which I'm sure everyone will flock to now. It's just, a lot of websites that relied on megaupload will just have a lot of links to fix, that's all.

    Forgive me for being cynical but I imagine the feds were ready to pull the plug on Megaupload at any time, and I find it hard to believe it was down to just sheer coincidence that they decide to drop the hammer on Megaupload the day after the largest protest against SOPA/PIPA.

    You can think that, but as far as I'm concerned it's just as much of a coincidence as two celebrities dying at the same time. And the same as all the other silly 9/11 conspiracy theories concerning completely unrelated events that happened at the same time as it. SOPA/PIPA is not at all the same as the FBI anyway.

    On a side note, looking at the article it seemed like Mr. Megaupload lived in some crazy guarded fortress. Hah, never figured it to be that well-endowed, despite how much I made use of it.

    On a slightly related note, TV Shack owner faces extradition to US over copyright infringement.

    I agree with what he said about Google. It's effectively doing what he did, just on a much larger scale >_>
