Megaupload Servers shutdown

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.

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...

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

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

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..

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