"It begs the question that if you can find and arrest people who are suspected to be involved in piracy using existing laws, then why introduce further regulations which are US-only and potentially damaging."

This kinda goes beyond just piracy and copyright infringement if those other charges are true. I have absolutely no idea about the legality of it, but doesn't the fact that megaupload at least makes some effort to take down videos clear them of copyright infringement? I mean, I doubt that they uploaded those videos themselves.

In an epic display of "probably doing to more harm than good," anonymous is going after the website of anyone involved in the takedown.

MegaPorn? There's a MegaPorn?

Megaupload is terrible and the internet is better with it gone.

In 2001, Schmitz purchased $375,000 worth of shares of the nearly bankrupt company LetsBuyIt.com and subsequently announced his intention to invest EUR 50 million in the company.[13] Unknown to others, Schmitz did not have the funds available to invest, although the announcement caused the share value of LetsBuyIt.com to jump by nearly 300%.[14] Schmitz quickly sold the shares and profited $1.5 million as a result.[13]

Schmitz had also arranged and obtained an unsecured loan of EUR 280,000 from Monkey AG, a company for which Schmitz had served as Chairman of the Board. The funds were to be paid to Kimvestor AG. As a result, both Monkey and Kimvestor went bankrupt.[15]

In January 2002, Schmitz was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, deported to Germany, and sentenced to a probationary sentence of one year and eight months, and a EUR 100,000 fine, the largest insider-trading case in Germany at the time.[16] Schmitz also pleaded guilty to embezzlement in November 2003 and received a two-year probation sentence.[17]

Why do you guys give a fuck? Megaupload is terrible and the internet is better with it gone. I mean seriously http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Schmitz the owner is a twat and this should have been expected.

It has nothing to do with sopa? The way i see it, the whole "arrest" and shit is a butthurt response from the authorities towards the people's succesful opposition against the bills. It's their own way of saying "so what if the bill did not pass? Look at how much we can still shit on your face". That much is obvious. The arrest happening shortly after the day of protest is no coincidence. The owner of megaupload was a twat yes, and that is precisely why he was used as a wooden effigy to be burned in counter-protest to people "defending piracy". :/
