Why do people find this to be that much of a shock?

Wouldn't even bother becoming attached to Youtube either as that has more piracy than any of the file hosting servers which is probably due to be shut down unless they're going to be pretentious about this whole thing...


SOPA is going to cause a world wide recession with an imminent depression afterwards.

They're killing off businesses like Megaupload who were operating legally it's just their users uploading the illegal content, which they actually followed up on and removed content... you know, doing the right thing.

since osu (or users) doesnt have any rights to actually use songs in this game, its something comparable as piracy, because you download beatmaps and the "songs"

It's sad and I will actually miss the site but these things happen. I'm sure you will be able to use an alternative very soon.

If the FBI can take down a company based in Hong-Kong and with new zealanders officials, then mediafire will die soon. u___u'

(ok my english suxx orz)

mediafire is a bit more prompt with their removal requests

also i dont see how taking megaupload down will actually prevent this thing from happening. if they take enough of the file-sharing sites down, people will just resort to using torrents instead, which are intrinsically harder to shut down.

silly move, really.

This reminds me of the old days of mp3 sites, whose takedowns led the whole community to Napster, and eventually decentralized p2p.

I guess they don't really care if SOPA gets passed or not if they're just gonna start shutting stuff down anyways

Technically, SOPA didn't need to even exist for any of this sort of action to be taken.

Illegally hosted media content is more than enough for a body to take action against regardless of the companies stance on the matter.

...I hope it's not uneasy enough to beat my face in at school tomorrow.

In any case, dumb bitches gonna be dumb.

:\ that's a shame.

I remember some important school project files were hosted on MegaUpload in the past which I thankfully managed to back up on a usb in case of any emergencies. Didn't expect the emergency to be MegaUpload shutting down, though.

megaupload was always a dick to my IP, and I couldn't accelerate downloads there unlike on mediafire.
