megaupload taken down?

Re: megaupload taken down ?

Mediafire sent an update earlier this week about their takedown policy. I'm sure Sendspace and mediafire could be also looked at. I bet MU got taken down because it was the biggest, making the most money and hosting the most pirated content, so they went after them.

How are Sendspace and Mediafire spared? I was surprised that my weekly non-music downloads on another forum hasn't been affected much by the takedown because they've always used other filesharers.

i,m seriously ing @ just how quiet the mass upload forum has been since this happened and also other forums

just shows u don't it

Domi & co. are now posting "news", 'cos they supporting the scene, you know.

The whole fuss did hurt us, though, we're doing it because we love the music, tons of harmless sets were deleted.

Yeah MU was the most popular mp3 hosting ppl used here from what ive seen, so that has screwed things up a bit.

TechCrunch, which is turning into The Enquirer of tech reporting is talking about this Megabox stuff too: http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/24/was...kebox-service/

Lulz at Amazon being a partner. They wouldn't touch that shit with a 10 foot pole. They have already a digital music service and one of the most popular websites already in the world. No need for that plus the risk that comes with it.

Plus the FBI investigation was probably going on for year(s) so it isn't like an announcement a few months ago or whatnot just prompted this mass multi-country raid.

Re: megaupload taken down ?

I know why I always wanted to have the Digger/Cattaneo mixes on our own servers. Shame that so many megathreads are dead now, not to mention the Kiss100 MU uploads from Gatz. I wonder if any of the MU customers will get their money back. I am sure there were also some legit users on there lol. I have a Rapidshare account till December. I doubt I will be able to use it that long lol. I think Rapidshare is also pretty big and on their target list.

But I have to say that I was wondering anyways how all these file sharing sites can exist so long just because of the location of Servers and I am surprised it lasted a few years. I assume what will happen now is that people will go more in hiding mode again and it will become much much harder for companies to monitor this kind of illegal action. It is always the same...gotta ask yourself what is the better or less worse alternative.

Piracy always existed and always will for various reasons. So the question is how to handle it. Having an illegal scene which acts obvious and tracable while providing you options to partially control it or to have a scene that is so deeply underground that you can't control it at all. Take your pick, government and major companies.

Skeptical!

Re: megaupload taken down ?

if that megabox thing was true then its highly possible the true reason behind why megaupload was taken down ... MPAA and RIAA is nothing more but dinosaurs in the digital age run by corporate greed

Re: megaupload taken down ?

The "Scene" does not use filesharers, that's for sure .

The copyright thing about sets makes my head hurt.

I meant the scene in general not the mp3 ripping scene which has ftp ...
