Megaupload Servers shutdown

[Nurgle]

Seems that there was a federal raid on Megaupload, and servers were shutdown.

Piratebay released a statement that they will no longer support .torrent files any longer, and will simply redirect...

This isnt a good sign.

will the piratebay still do magnet links?

[Nurgle]

Yes they will have magnet links

mine was first!11!1!

meh though, they realized they can shut down site with existing laws. not good i suppose.

 

[Nurgle]

Ha, I searchedbarred and didnt see anything. Apologies

 

[skijunkiedtm]

Piratebay is safe

"SOPA can't do anything to stop TPB. Worst case we'll change top level domain from our current .org to one of the

hundreds of other names that we already also use. In countries where TPB is blocked, China and Saudi Arabia springs to

mind, they block hundreds of our domain names. And did it work? Not really."

Problem being in this instance, the Feds physically shut down the servers, and have arrest warrants for 20 people in different countries...

Hacker Anonymous, has hacked and crashed the Department of Justice site, RIAA, MPAA, and UniversalMusic.com

 

[skijunkiedtm]

They have done that in the past to the piratebay already.

Tis just the begining

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

haha thats funny, it's too bad they don't ever do anything better than shut down sites (in regards to this and most other things)

 

[Jeff_Lo]

FBI is apparently next on the list....

copyright and a few other sites are down.

 

[marsh.]

noticed this at school today

 

[Jeff_Lo]

I'm all for it, I even used to be in the Army. SOPA is bullshit.

 

[mistaT]

For music I just use Mediafire for rar's

 

[Nurgle]

Same here ha.

 

[Mike-O]

We'll see how long Rapidshare and Mediafire last after this...

Both are .coms and under US jurisdiction. Ha-Ha.

 

[Strobe]

yup, hopefully mediafire and others dont go under.

 

[Montville57]

Just heard this on the news... Good thing I use mediafire... I don't know what I will do when those commie bastards shut that down

 

[.Roockley.]

haha amazing, internet fight!

[skifoo]

fuck it. 50 years in jail for it? Oh god damnit, he wasn't dealing 10 million kg's of drugs.

 

[Lé.Skiing]

I read this yesterday... seems like they are more attacking people that were using it for businesses its kinda ridiculous that they would attack business its just cause they were using a site..

[Mike-O]

He hasn't even been charged properly yet, the picture saying he got 50 years is bullshit.
