[jonasaquino11]

[HansensUniverse]

The USA and their goverment can shut their face up were the sun will never shine...

[Marocairforce]

[Tinbeef22]

[SuperDawg2010]

media fire!!!

[Matak12]

USA want Kim Dot Com and Julian Assange put in jail so they can't talk no more and damage the reputation and profits of already-rich American corporations. And they call themselves the champions of freedom. Before anyone says 'but they broke the law blah blah think about this American law once upon a time said it was okay to own black people as slaves, and it also said it was alright to have black and white seperate from eachother. Meaning the law protects those in power and is not always right

[notail98]

these is soooo gay

[jonathanbain14]

Julia Gillard, you should be ashamed of yourself. You are a pathetic little woman in charge of a tiny little government who control a tiny little country. Grow a fucking spine and stand up to those power hungry tyrants in Washington. US laws have no legitimacy anywhere out of the US. This person and his website was hosted OUTSIDE OF THE US. You didn't see Britain / Scotland (in Britain) conforming to US demands when they wanted the Lockerbie Bomber denied compassionate leave did you? Disgraceful

[jenlosam1]

@jonathanbain14 same same!

[Mraloneandsad]

when they say piracy they say"we made this movie for 200 milion fukin dollars and now we want to triple that money so go whatch it in the theathre insted of downloiding it for free"-BASTARDS

[Mraloneandsad]

stupid fuckers they shut down the site so that we can no longer get things free fukin bastards where will i download my porn now?

[Alexones1]

ffs now they contorl the whole world laws????

[barneyistrouble]

I Don't Wish To Sound Like A America-Hating Piece'o'Crap but I Don't Think America Has The Right To Take Down A Website Which Is Used INTERNATIONALLY, I Alway's Used Megaupload For Non-Illegal Stuff, What Give's America The Right To Affect The Rest Of The World? Thier A Powerful And Influential Country. That Does Not Equal Power To Sculpt The World For A Select Few To Make The Rest Of The Change According To Their Views, Which Aren't Right In The Eyes Of Everyone. America Has Lost Respect Now.

[eleazarrodriguez05]

MU was the only place i could actuly rely on to get files wanted. best part about it was that there was NO SURVEYS before downloading.

[eleazarrodriguez05]

I bet the only reason the government is doing this is to get the $500 million dollars off megaupload so they can pay off dept. You'll be amazed of what the government will do just to get money.

[Lenrom12]

are we communists now WTF

[Ninox37]

@Lenrom12

In Communism, copyrights do not exist.

[gabyartizada1]

wtf, i just gotten there to download iso link for windows 95 and it got down :(

[phantomghost110]

my respect for this country has decreased.i still respect it,but megaupload being shut down was like punching an innocent man.

[karan6]

fuckin american government

[megastef920]

Oh stupid stupid America.... NEVER CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP

[IAmTheVincentChen]

FUCK THE FBI

[IHDxProductionsI]

America - Mega upload

Shut Down.... I no longer have any more honor towards America... Cancel flight.

[Legoman346]

Youtube is violating piracy laws, hundreds, yet they do nothing. Youtube is way too big, probably. But I hope it still doesnt happen. But mega upload-wtf? Man cmon i go their to download hacks

[OlCalif]

If SOPA, ACTA or other wretched legislation pass, this will be everyday life.

In any case, the shutting down of Megaupload was just outrageous.

[Kaqanikudc]

Why not!I have to be purchased in megaupload Account Life Time Platinum! and now is gone, shet!...

[TheBertyboy]

@Kaqanikudc The Authorities might refund all premium members. BUT I DON'T KNOW SO DON'T COMPLAIN IF THEY DON'T.

[chriswarden420]

US laws do not apply to the rest of the world. This is Bullshit!!

[danner504]

what is justice.gov

[danner504]

A new site is up 4megaupload(dot)com/ replace the (dot) with .

[run30wn3r444]

Maybe this is World War 3? haha

[run30wn3r444]

Won't be long before YouTube gets fucked along with MediaFire too...

[JerileeHaller]

If you think about it.. The goverment is just seeing how much power they have over people and what they can say or do and see how ppl act. Like 2012... The worlds not going to end. Its just a scare to see how ppl act. So they know how much power they have over us.!!!

[eldest808]

The Good about shutting it down is i wont get any more keyloggers from Mega Upload the Bad Fuck You FBI for taking down a Website that i was watching TV shows on.

[moh97gt]

youtube is the biggest website violating piracy laws

[fgknederland]

[theDeathstar311]

damn you groovmen

[NiGhTmaReoFanGels12]

All the goverment cares about their selfs and how to get lots of money for their selfs!!! they dont even care about other people wants or likes,. thumbs up if u agree

[souphiane10]

[TheMrAwessome]

卐OPA

[masteruploader1998]

OMG!

NOOO!

:(

THIS IS SOO WRONG! MEGAUPLOAD WAS AWSOME.!!! WHY! PUT IT BACK NOW!!!!!!!

[johncase7776]

Yeah they should just ignore everyone who is breaking the laws. Free all the people who made Meth and sold drugs!

[MBCash71286]

@johncase7776 are you seriously comparing file sharing and cooking meth or selling drugs, you have got to be kidding me are you that retarded, or just uneducated?

[suitelifeonnz]

YAY new zealand :)

[Vader3123]

Mediafire. Nuff said.

[JiePireL]

Enough said.

RESUME MEGAUPLOAD NOW!!!

AND DON'T YOU CLOSE MEDIAFIRE!!!

[ARTISTofPORTRAIT]

so if Megaupload was being endorsed by celebrities,

why were they shutdown for copyright when the singers and actors wanted their work on that site.

[a000x]

end of the World is close

[ThePickleZebra]

mediafire is better!!!!!

[Taylor5192]

(ONLY MEXICANS WILL GET THIS, OR IF YOU SPEAK SPANISH) Yummm SOPA!!! :)

[zamm0rock]

@Taylor5192 FUCK YOU, one - for thinking that people are that dumb, two - for NOT TAKING THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY!

[Legoman346]

@Taylor5192 Fuck you, but im dominican, I love soup tho

[EnergySharpProd]

Thts stupid if anything shut down pirate bay what idiots !!!

[SorenBerthelsen96]

I think it's so great that they prioritize this above everything else.. I mean piracy is the BIGGEST fucking problem in the US........... NOT!!! D:<

[Adultguj]

No fun allowed.

[RavenandChoo]

Oh fuck you SOPA.. Gtfo -.-

[ElmosLegendGaming]

Shit, I made a account on that website.

[ThePoisonedTaco]

@IMadeAllThese There are some VERY VERY small sites, besides, it won't be passed, almost everything has copyright, they will have to shit down everything, whih they won't. 2012 isnt the end of the world yet

[dmaskell92]

did they think if they destroy file hosts hackers will stop? I for one say power to the hackers.

[Markmastercolts]

Guys Obama said he is not going to sign for it so as long as he keeps his word youtube is safe.

[brokenbones199]

fuck you america

[codglitcher201]

@brokenbones199 its not america, its the stupid fuckin governments fault

[ixXgamerXxi]

Anonymous, you've just got a new mission!

[Cyricc]

Megaupload responsible for $500 million in copyright loss,

US governemtn responsible for $14 trillion in corruption loss,

Always great to see the biggest bully stand up for his right to be a hypocrite.

[dmaskell92]

@Cyricc agreed

[TheGhostlyBagel]

Fuck SOPA and fuck congress. I've never used megaupload b4 but if they can shut down a website that big they can shut down anything they want. That's bullshit

[ESPINOZA316]

I will no longer honor the American flag.

[jeight]

can youtube be next?

[MrLunitunz]

The arrests and the shut down are bullshit. News Corp through News of The World hack tons of phones world-wide, in what is text book law breaking and invasion of privacy. There is damning evidence that Rupert Murdoch not only knew about it but condoned it. The US and UK Government don't seize his assets, raid his house, anything like that. He pays off the victims and walks free. Megaupload got shut down because US government didn't see any of that money, because corporate lobbyists lost some.

[Gantzer1]

Oh so if your not at the very top then its illeagal but if your an equity or hadge fund ceo then you can rape the planet all you want and its just fine.

[MrDoubbleU]

Free Kim DOTCOM Fuck SOPA

[jesus77755]

I don't like mega upload that much, I don't even use it. I hope mediafire doesn't shut down, or i'm pissed!

[kaksjfd]

i 2nd the motion thumbs up

[kaksjfd]

Thnx 2 the shutdown i cnt even download anything!!! This sucks even filesonic has removed the downloading features.....

[JGoods7676]

Thumbs up if you think this government fucken sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dashapell]

@JGoods7676 Would you suck a d!ck for thumbs up?

[JGoods7676]

Thumbs up if u think this government fucken sucks!!!!!!

[098firechicken]

damn, lots of money in file sharing.

[SMoshFreak456]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!!!!!! THOSE BASTARDS!!!! WHY???!!!! WHY?!!!

[FUCKAMERISCUM666]

they should arrest others to like steam valve etc.

[lordofthesting]

@FUCKAMERISCUM666 No, why would that help anything? I pay for my games, so does every other Steam user...

[ThePoisonedTaco]

We still got 4shared, 2shared, beemp3, mp3skull, mediafire, sharecash, file ape, piratebay. 4shared is really clean and good, I'm sad about megaupload though. Just saying...

[IMadeAllThese]

@ThePoisonedTaco Megaupload was taken down. You think everything else isn't gonna follow? Megaupload was just the biggest, so it was hit first.

[Fanime456]

Oh shit.

[EnigmaXx730]

lol

[loyolapj8]

thumbs up if the website's takedown destroyed your file sharing

[TheVatocholo]

you know what i hate the most uou america fuck you...

[TheVatocholo]

what tha fuck is going on....

[VictiniExpert2400]

What the fuck's going on to the world.

[SaraLeymera14]

@VictiniExpert2400

No Internet? It's ending? DUH.

[adrillikatithang]

I bet the government uses megaupload to download their music -.-

[BKFF20]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O

[labulashvili]

Nazi Party reigning again, on different continent, thats the only difference

[TerryTheTitan]

they have a megaupload. net

[jacksrumgone]

1:00 What are they smiling about? They just got arrested!

[IMadeAllThese]

@jacksrumgone Maybe this is all part of their plan...?

[jacksrumgone]

@IMadeAllThese Who? Anonymous or the arrested MU founders?

[IMadeAllThese]

@jacksrumgone The arrested founder of course. Here's where they use their inside henchmen and make even MORE money, even while jailed. Then they're freed and make a huge comeback.

[mairuku]

fuck you america. FUCKK YOU.

[Smurkitz]

@mairuku Lovely comment.

[132kaBOOM]

@mairuku YEAH FUCK YOU LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE

[originalcreeperpoo]

What's next? YouTube?

[hehe45451]

the last question was great

[americanmotherfudger]

I feel like a peice of shit............fuck AMERICA!

[oltipg]

Let's Go all to fuck America !

[ashlockk]

What has the United States come to... the government has fucked up so much in the near past. I hope anonymus shuts down the government and ends this nonsense.

[jacksrumgone]

@ashlockk They did. The FBI website has crashed as well as other websites.

[SuperYoshiTheFirst1]

Ok I live in America, but this is fucking retarded. Seriously what gives them the right to charge people living in other countries? They don't govern the world, they govern America. -_-

[basel435]

Pussy country dick heads

[awsome7user]

If they censor The porn.the world will be down

[linminhtoo]

assholes they can cut off their own dicks and suck them up like lollipops

they can shut down their stupid websites instead of megaupload

[0551E80Y]

this is a nightmare

[Workerman1991]

@TwasGraeme

in the internet we are the law,we are the government and we are the people.U.S. can fuck off and suck copyrights holders' cock but this won't stop piracy.see how megaupload is returning back with a new domain? >:)

also,did you know these pro-piracy and anti-copyright websites have about 73% web traffic all around the world?you just cant stop the outlaws,you fucking LOSERS!

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Workerman1991 cool bro youre a loser

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

nothing pisses me off more then when people get PISSED because they wont be able to download shit without paying for it anymore. BUY it support musicians, being a musician myself, I can see why this aggravates record company's and bands who are having trouble with sales... 

[Workerman1991]

@n1GibsonGuitarist

you know what i do download free music digitally and buy the same in CD or DVDs when i find them to be great to collect.

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Workerman1991 yeah cool but most people dont do that. They just dl it and thats it

[GarrettASGP]

@n1GibsonGuitarist it still doesnt matter. Not all things you download on those sights are where you have to buy them. People link things to that site for mods on their games and such.

[dvsxavier]

@n1GibsonGuitarist No one buys ur music, because you're a nobody who plays shitty music. You attention seeking whore.

I agree, there are plenty of musicians who are struggling. But how are you going to promote urself, if NO ONE has heard of YOU. You have to get ur music out there, any way you can.

BTW, Megaupload is NOT a primary site to download music. Torrent sites such as Piratebay are more popular. Plus, Piratebay ONLY host the torrent links, NOT the music file. U noob.

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@dvsxavier when did I ever say I sold music? All I said was that being a musician I can SEEEEEE what theyre going through

[trinitymike]

@dvsxavier Good, then I hope they shut THEM down as well. If they provide the venue and opportunity for illegal acts to occur(which they KNOW are happening) without taking any measures to counter them, then they are liable.

[Fosis4100]

@n1GibsonGuitarist Musicians don't make money off selling their own music, the Record Label does.

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Fosis4100 musicians get some money. But if record labels dont get as much as they should then they could possibly go away which is bad. You need to have record companies.

[Fosis4100]

@n1GibsonGuitarist What part do they play in MUSIC?

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Fosis4100 They promote the musicians

[Fosis4100]

@n1GibsonGuitarist Unless you promote yourself, of course.

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Fosis4100 which is pretty much impossibly without hefty sums of cash. If anyone was able to promote themselves, there wouldnt be any need for record companies

[Fosis4100]

@n1GibsonGuitarist you can promote yourself w/out any cash at all if you upload your work to websites and try to get noticed

[n1GibsonGuitarist]

@Fosis4100 yeahhhh doesnt really take off though that way. Most the stuff online is a bunch of stupid music that gets alot of attention for no reason

[Fosis4100]

@n1GibsonGuitarist but some of it is good

[mcpheefive02011]

I hope that shitty Rapidshare will be the next ones to go get rid of them and bring back MU

[dvsxavier]

This is fucking wrong. These guys own the servers. The files are user generated. They don't upload or download any of the files they host on their servers. They have nothing to do with pirating.

Corporate America is greedy and jealous.

If piracy is rampant by Megaupload, how is it that, in a down economy people are still going to theatres and downloading songs from iTunes?

This is bullshit.

[trinitymike]

@dvsxavier You are responsible for what happens in a business you own...

[dvsxavier]

@trinitymike That's the most unfair argument I ever read.

It's like saying Beer producers should be held liable for people driving drunk. Or gun manufacturers should be punished for armed robbery and murders.

The site was designed to back-up files online. The owners can't be held liable for user misuse.

If Hollywood wants to make a claim of copyright, then they should be the ones going after streaming sites like Netflix, iTunes, and Youtube for more money, NOT Megaupload.

[trinitymike]

@dvsxavier Ok, go after THOSE sites as well.

[Fosis4100]

@trinitymike Have fun getting owned, motherfucker.

[trinitymike]

@dvsxavier "It's like saying Beer producers should be held liable for people driving drunk. Or gun manufacturers should be punished for armed robbery and murders."

Actually, no it isn't.....but, you know...nice try...

[dvsxavier]

@trinitymike Megaupload IS NOT a music and movie filesharing site. They don't advertise it as such. It's a file storage site, with subscribers who can legitimately BUY storage services.

If I buy CDs and DVDs legally, and put them away in a storage locker I rent. And someone breaks in and steals them. Does that mean Hollywood should go after the owner's of the storage locker?

The founders of Megaupload make money, and Hollywood is finding an excuse to steal it.

[dvsxavier]

End the Piracy. Rot in Jail, criminals...
