So, MegaUpload is closed now?
I downloaded most of my files from that site.
Why SOPA, why?

I say it's time to assassinate some SOPA members.

I'm f*** serious.

Megaupload was extremely useful to me, and now...

Ugh.

I heard somewhere that Anonymous got Megaupload back but it's probably just 4Chan f*** with everybody.
Edit:
They apparently took down the FBI's website? Didn't get Mega back.

Mediafire doesn't stream basically any anime imaginable

***If I'm correct Megaupload and Megavideo are the same hosts***

***HINT HINT***
If you have ever streamed a video with a big red button in the middle and a really annoying time limit, that's Megavideo. Which is now gone. Also most video players ALSO run off of Megavideo.

guys, this is less about SOPA and more about the owners of megaupload just being f*** retarded.
they could have gotten away with it if they hadnt pretty much documented all of the cases where they downloaded copyrighted material from their own website.

So, does this like, solidify SOPA's bill or something? I hope not, this is all getting way out of hand, it's not like proposing a bill and getting it in will stop Piracy anyway, As long as there is a law, there will be people trying to worm through them, always has been always will be, No law will change it, as it will get worked around on.

We should find ways to put sites like Mediafire onto senate.gov. Since it contains a link it must be shut down.
