Megaupload
 

Anyone else keeping an eye on this? It is chilling to me that the USA can just arrest these guys and seize assets and extradite them to the USA.

I was concerned about SOPA and PIPA and now ACTA but seeing this Megaupload thing happen I feel it won't matter if ACTA passes as they are going to do whatever they want.

I think as the world gets smaller, there are some issues that no one is prepared for. With the internet and modern technology it has become very small very fast.

I have always been very aware of copywrite laws. In public schools, we are often reminded. There have been college students charged (fined) thousands of dollars for downloading music illegally.

I don't know anything about Megaupload, but it sounds as if they are stealing money from artists. I don't care what country arrests and charges these people, but stealing is stealing.

I just can't help but see the timing of this (along with SOPA and PIPA and ACTA) as another black-flag operation to take internet freedoms away. Just like the Patriot Act and NDAA are eroding physical freedoms.

I also strongly disagree with the arresting and extraditing them to the USA.

More on SOPA here which I feel will be snuck through without the publics knowledge as there was outrage the 1st time.
