[QUOTE="Jandurin"] no, i don't think so and i'd be surprised if the law looks at it that way i imagine they fine youJandurin

But fine you for what? Some petty theft charge? Trespassing?

I just found this on google:

Crime Classifications on some Australian police site.

Under "Other Theft" it includes fare evasion. So I guess in at least some parts of the world, hopping a turnstile would be stealing.

And apparently there's at least one state (Florida) that says "transit fare evasion blah blah shall constitute petit theft blah blah".

[QUOTE="ToppledPillars"][QUOTE="-DirtySanchez-"] you still took it, physically or not you still took something that isnt yours, you f*cking dipsh*t. my god are people really this stupid?Ilovegames1992

No, its more like they burned you a copy of that movie and gave it to you.... and thousands of other people....

If we use this logic what you're essentially saying is that it's okay to steal a TV, as long as it's not a flatscreen. You're making the argument that sharing on a large scale is stealing, but sharing on a small scale is not. The part about burning it makes no difference, I could lend a physical CD to twenty friends or make twenty copies and give them to twenty friends and it would have the same effect. Back to the main point, either sharing is stealing or it's not. You can't say some sharing is stealing and some isn't anymore than you can say some robbery is stealing and some isn't, it either is or it isn't.

What? No i think the exact opposite.... It's obviously stealing. Its getting something for free you should be paying for. I'd class that as stealing, but whatever it doesnt really harm anyone.

This is the plot for Resident Evil 6, Lamar Smith = Wesker.

Then filesharing is no different than sharing a movie with your friends.

Closing down such a major site, not cool, that has to cause some really inconvenience. It just feels wrong, it's like removing a major city of the "internet-country". Brutal.

Another semantics debate, like all other discussions on the net about this news - jeez. Surprisingly, this thing went down during wars on sopa and pipa. Coincidence?

Fbi won this time since the hosters are involved in money laundring and deliberately allowing illegal contents, not to mention hosting the servers on US. This next round is the court, so MU might be waiting for a rebirth. Hell the files there is still DL if you got the links.. MU is a great site, no virus or etc, it's sufficient imo but greatest mistake - servers in the us of a.

Yes, your friends.... and thousands of other people.

I was just about to watch a classic Simpsons episode on Megavideo, too.

Ah well - what can you do?

That's it, I'm going to learn how to hack those motherf*ckers. I hate the USA, they think they're the owners of the world.

tjricardo089

Oh for the love of crap, that sucks.

...then again, that place only let me watch about 72 minutes at a time.

I've said it before, and I guess I'll say it again, louder and clearer: F%CK YOU, SOPA AND PIPA. F%CK YOU, PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT MEGA(site) TO ITS KNEES. F%CK YOU, ALL WHO SUPPORT ALL OF THIS BULLSH1T. F%CK YOU. F%CK YOU ALL.tjoeb123

Could not have put it better myself.

I don't see how anyone can actually blame the government? I watched Showtime and HBO shows on the mega sites all the time, and I'm sure thousands of others did as well. Getting something for free from a premium channel can be devastating for that business. I just might have to go and buy HBO and Showtime now. dragonball3900

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="quebec946"]

they say america is the land the of freedom IRONY.

-DirtySanchez-

Now that's irony.

Can't say that was uncalled for. That site was teeming with pirated content. Allowing this site pretty much amounts to killing the very idea of intellectual property.

That and buying anime sold in the US costs a few arms and legs.

[QUOTE="imtocool4u"]

[QUOTE="SmokeyArcanine"] They had a time limit unless you payed them on streaming things I thought. There is still much better sites that host anime then megauploadTHE_DRUGGIE

Oleg_Huzwog

Nooo, Modders host stuff on there.

That might be mediafire tho.

Not sure.

Not sure if anyones already posted this but Anonymous has retaliated :twisted:

They've shut down a number of websites like the dept. of justice, universal music websites and plan on attacking the fbi webpage.

Never used the site so I am not really upset over this.

As i said in that other thread, Anonymous scare me.

megaupload is on twitter trending worldwide

and stupid old people of america

The reason they went after Megaupload was because they were making money off of the copyrighted stuff, Read Wasdie's posts eariler on this topic.

Megavideo was one of my favorite video sites.

It was coded well for my internet, would buffer all the way, and restarts loading after an Internet crash(instead of just ***** ending)

In short my favorite anime hosting place is dead:(
