I agree it's uncool how it was shutdown, and it's kind of like a new age of policing where they shut it down and charge and then ask questions later, they don't have to prove anything to shut the site down etc etc. It's all messy from every angle, of course the system is corrupt all around. -- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- <cite>Psycho_Kenshin posted [p:704686] in the truth ...

Leebo86 01/24/12 12:04:00 PM #44:	I download stuff in chunks all the time, but it's usually stuff that is hard to find and there aren't any torrents or full direct downloads of it. And since pretty much every one of these services has the file limits, usually you just see the same file mirrored on like 6 of them all broken into the same pieces. -- Connecticut Huskies <cite>Leebo86 posted [p:704706] in the truth ...

Liquid Wind 01/24/12 12:13:00 PM #46:	skim reading that article all it seems to imply is that there was wrongdoing on MU's part, that doesn't mean that's why they were taken down. CBS/CNET was one of the biggest architects of the piracy culture that exists today and they will NEVER be prosecuted for that, lr2politics. <cite>Liquid Wind posted [p:704708] in the truth ...

It admits that the people who pushed for it probably didn't like the idea of MegaBox, but at the same time the evidence used for the takedown wasn't fabricated. -- Connecticut Huskies <cite>Leebo86 posted [p:704709] in the truth ...

Leebo86 01/24/12 12:45:00 PM #50:	SOPA/PIPA never really explained how the accusations and evidence would be handled. We don't know how much evidence would be needed. And they wouldn't result in a site being shut down like this, they just removed you from the DNS system, which makes it harder, but not impossible, for people to get to your site. -- Connecticut Huskies <cite>Leebo86 posted [p:704712] in the truth ...
