    Yeah, I read about Megauploads' demise just a short time ago. I'm willing to bet that it won't be long before Anonymous members are rounded up too. I'm sure that the Feds already know who most or all of the players are, but just want to keep gathering evidence before arrests are made. That is, as long as they're not in a Communist country, like China.

    I like believing that they dont have jack sheet on them,and that anon can fark them up,atleast by bringing sites down every now and again haha.

    There was a vid where they apparently said that they will black out fb,twitter,PSN,xbox live and such if they dont bring megaupload in a few days,i would love to see that.

    I know you would feel different if it was your credit card they used to make illegal purchases. If you've been following the news, before Christmas, they stole credit card numbers and made purchases under the premise that they were giving to the poor, sort of like Robin Hood. In reality, they weren't robbing the rich. They just grabbed numbers indisciminately and made thousands of dollars worth of purchases. The vast majority of those robbed were average, middle class, blue collar workers who don't have a lot of money. To me, they're thieves and criminals. Like I said, you'd feel a lot different if it was you they robbed. My concern and my heart goes out to those blue collar victims, despite the fact that I haven't been robbed.

    Good point,however,you cant show what you can do if you dont show your teeth! (Basically show what you can and that you are willing to do it)
    I wasnt robbed,sure,but you cant say the governments,the politicians and the rest arent robbing you for more than they "allegedly" stole...There is a dumpload of things you would never believe me if i told you,but it doesnt matter.
    I agree with Anon,they did this to get MUpload back,and to keep the interwebs SOPA free,i mean,man,if you want SOPA,sure,have it,PIPA as well,but it affects me too,and i am in a country i can bet you never heard of,let alone point at it on a world map.


    Sidenote SOPA and PIPA voting is postponed
    I find out about ACTA,the EU version of SOPA+PIPA...fml

    You actually believe Anonymous did this to keep the internet SOPA free? If you really do believe that one, I got a great deal on the Brooklyn Bridge if you're interested in buying it.
    Look, I'm not going to try and change your mind. After all, you started this thread for a reason and you've shown that you're willing to throw any indiscriminate reason into the fray to try and support your viewpoint on it. Even if it's just a matter of saving face, you're going to stick to your guns. Perhaps you even anticipated who it was that might reply to this post. As far as Anonymous trying to prove they have teeth to support what they believe is a valid point, as if there's any righteousness in that. May I remind you that all Terrorists do the same thing. The graves and jails are full of them. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck; I call it a duck. There will always be those who, for whatever reason, choose to call it something else, even though they also know it's a duck. You agree with Anonymous: because they didn't rob you. If they did rob you, I know, irrefutably, that you would never have started this thread. I disagree with Anonymous because, it's not all about me.

    I don't think it's any secret, to anyone, that Megaupload was storing copyrighted material for anyone and everyone to download to their heart's content. Maybe that's why you agree with them. You never lost income to thieves who took your hard earned work without paying for it. Who knows your real reason because the ones you post do not make any sense. Your Orwellian, Conspiracy Theorist claims of Government robbery are alarming, at the very least. Do you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back, eat regularly, receive competent medical care and have a vehicle to traverse in? Then you've done a lot better through our government than 90% of the rest of the world's countries' populations. Good luck in your life's perspective.

    Anon didnt kill anyone did they now?
    They didnt rob me,why didnt they,cos they have nothing to rob,i am down all the time in the minus,i have 30k of loan debt to pay back over time,
    megauplaod removed contetnt that was reported as illegal when and if someone reported it,you cant really check all the damn files on the site,cos they upload gigs and gigs of data every day.

    And you actually believe thet the president of USA runs the country,you think the congress runs the country...it goes much deeper,i suppose yuo havent heard of the new world order either lol (just take this a LITTLE BIT seriously,i am not going on abouit doomsday theories) a world government,a world bank, and such are in the making,what do you think the EU is,it is just dicviding into 4-6 main groups to be easier to control, also the banking system,it was designed to slowly fail....but hell i know this wont be taken seriously,i will be laughed at,and i have changed since i was gone from the forum,i see alot has...
    I must interpret your reply as a tad arrogant one,that may not be the best word to describe it,but my vocabulary isnt that good,since you know...english isnt my primary language...

    Sorry if I offended or seemed arrogant to you, but I was being assertive. And no, I didn't know that English wasn't your first language. You speak (or I should say, write) it very well. I never would've guessed. As far as "The New World Order", I won't be here when that happens.

    No problem,i must apologize as well,since at the time of typing my reply,i had a heated discussion going on on another place so i was quite...aggravated i believe thats the word.
    And thanks

    Anyway,you might not be here (althougj it is already happening) ,but i might still be here,thats why it sort of concerns me,although i am becoming less responsive to that,since we cant fight it,i support everything that keeps the internet the way it is,and that is; FREE ( I know it isnt 100% free but blocking IPs and websites,not only for USA citizens,but for the whole world,that is stupid,and goes to show how USA wants to be the world leader) SOPA and PIPA would affect me greatly,as well as ACTA if it passes,although ACTA was arranged and voted for in secrecy,and had been published (somewhat) just recently.
    Taking MegaUpload down also affected me a lot,since with megaupload, thousands of rFactor (racing sim) mods are gone as well,along with many many pllugins for the game and lots of other non pirated or better yet,legal stuff.
    About piracy,i will stay quiet on that topic...at least in the public,some may not share the same opinions
