My god byg you have SO MANY GOOD ITEMS! BUT YOU DONT USE THEM! ARRGGGGHHHHH! But anyways on topic I still dont understand why they decided to take Megaupload down out of ANY other downloading website. Megaupload was just a file sharing website it wasnt meant for downloading copyrighted material! I dont know why they dont just take down something that does it on purpose such as Utorrent or Frostwire or even BeeMP3 it just blows my mind!

@homiscidalkiller Like what!?

It's all because you have a bunch of old guys who thinbk the internet is bad and want to regulate it, but have NO idea how it works. And they went after Megaupload because it was a high profile site that would get a LOT of news.

I know this is gonna sound like bullshit but maybe we would get rid of copyright. I mean look at our problems with the gas companies. They have bought every usable copyright to non gas cars. The goverment is also thinking of having a tax on low gas consuming cars so that the less gas your car uses the more of that tax you have to pay so it doesn`t matter if your car has good gas mileage or not your still gonna get boned. Honestly maybe we should get rid of frakkin' copyright all together!

@Snorlagg Something has got to give because I think THAT kinda of legislation would really KILL the economy more thatn it already is!

Well Little Caesers is owned by the guy that owns the Detroit Red Wings. So not really as small as one would think.

@Snorlagg I... didn't know that... Wow...

Continuous barbardment of bullshit laws. Makes a man think about giving up.

@BygPhattyPlus Same here, plus if I ever wanted to get movies, I usually go to the annual expo downtown and get some for cheap (like say a range between $2 to $10) or watch what I have already.

@BygPhattyPlus Currently he's doing Megaman Battle Network 3, but thing was while talks of the SOPA/PIPA thing was going on, he constantly got comments and it literally got him fed up with the issue. It worried him that badly that it got him depressed.
