Actually, it does seem the same way with Megaupload, to disagree on that point.

MegaUpload removed links that they were told were infringing. Sure, they didn’t remove ALL links to a file or the file itself because ONE link to a file was infringing and did one file for multiple links if they were the same file.

However, that is just how a smart filehost would do it.

Secondly, on the ‘actively violating the law’…. I don’t see any of that. I see nothing that would anywhere near speak to that.

Hi! We have made the first parody game about Megaupload, it’s name is “Megaup, upload if you can” and it is free for a limited period of time for IOS. If you are interested, you can download it on http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/megaup-upload…-if-you-can!/id497917073?mt=8 ore have more information about it on http://www.gopango.com/blog/megaup-free-for-a-limited-period-of-time-so-kim-dotcom-can-play-it-after-paying-his-bail.html.

Can you imagine that happening in reverse? e.g., China trying to arrest a US citizen who resides in the US? Would never happen. Long live Team America, World Police.

After reading the first 50 pages of the indictment, if it’s all valid, then it’s pretty clear these guys were shifty.

I notice that if I want to download the indictment I have to be a member of facebook (or sign up). Maybe they could have put the indictment on Megaupload? Ah, darn it.

ATTENTION WORLD: Violating US law will get you arrested and imported to stand trial, regardless of your physical location, citizenship, or country of origin.

They actively encouraged piracy and rewarded users with money.

So how was Megaupload different from Rapidshare or all the other Filehosting Sites?

That “modern day pirates” “statement” is taken out of context and is now misleading as the email continues with – in my mind – another fundamentally relevant “statement”. It would be nice if the admin of this site provided the whole extraxt of the email appearing in the indictment – it is not that long.
