TrollsNews today Megaupload taken down
Trollympics result
Good evening and welcome to another episode of TrollsNews, show that brings you all the
important information about trolls or just a random drama on the internet.
The Report of today was brought to you by MSteniente77 and it is about megaupload being
taken down by FBI and Department of Justice. For those of you who don't know, megaupload
was a file sharring site, in theory these sites should be used for sharring files that
you have created, but that is not their use, people are using them for sharring movies
and video games. These sites are protected by DMCA, and in case someone uploads copyrighted
material, they are alerted about it and they just remove it, that way FBI can't shut them
down. Megaupload wasn't doing that.
Basically they were ignoring demands of copyright holder to remove copyrighted material, megaupload
was slapping their *** in faces of copyright holders. It doesn't matter if you like it
or not, infrigment of copyrights is still illegal, and it's not a good idea to do it
so obviously. I'm not saying don't pirate, I'm just saying be more smart about it. I
guess it's good that these obvious methods are taking away attention from torrents.
Of course the shady thing here is that Owner of MegaUpload lives in New Zealand and he
was arrested by FBI, which clearly doesn't have a jurisdiction there, which most likely
means that New Zeland gave Dotcom to FBI. It is necessary to mention that some megaupload
servers were located in USA, which made it way too easy. Anonymous DDoS'd DOJ and RIAA
website, which is nice geasture I guess, but ultimately futile.
One more thing that we should mention, this has nothing to do with SOPA or PIPA, these
things are not even in place, and it really seems that they never will be. Nothing of
value was lost, just use rapidshare instead, or torrents, or your friends' FTP or eMule
or anything, only candyasses were using megauploads!
Also we should announce the result of Trollympcis, according to your votes winner is CopperCab
who had over 50% votes. So he was the best troll of 2010, yay!
