TrollsNews 60 - Megaupload taken down, Trollympics

Again just to explain my stands on copyrights, I think that people that create something should be rewarded and they should be able to do with their work whatever they want. But in certain places it is next to impossible to get something, for example without piracy I wouldn't be able to watch shows like House, Dexter, because they are simply not available legally for me.

Also piracy can be used to try something, you watch a show, listen to music and if you like it, you buy it later, because you want to support the artist. That's what I used to do with games, but Steam killed game piracy side of me. But at same time, I understand that piracy is against the law, so I don't present it like the best thing ever. If everyone would adopt idea of piracy, there wouldn't be content creators, we all must say it's bad, otherwise every fucker will do it. It must be more complicated than just click one button and download, because everyone will do it.

I don't want to sound like a hipster, but we must keep piracy underground, if not, we will destroy it, or we will destroy what we are trying to get. Megaupload was stupid, because it made it too easy, they didn't play the game as they should, they deserved what they got, because they are betraying the principle of making it hidden.

And yeah CopperCab won Trollympics, yay!

So it wasn't ACTA..... over-reactive dumbasses -.-

[Trollsnews]

@Killerthewolfdog well sort of yes, it was ACTA, but on different level than people think

ACTA is an agreement between countries, they agreed to cooperate against piracy, and New Zealand and US were first countries to sign it.

But ACTA didn't bring any new legislation or anything, they could do it without ACTA as well.

ACTA does nothing, that doesn't current legislation already allows

@SockMcLargeHuge that's why DMCA is in place, this takes away responsibility of the owner of a site for pirates uploading things there, but they need to remove copyrighted material if they are alerted by copyright holder, otherwise they will be also responsible. So they were guilty.

But I don't think anything will reduce piracy, not a single thing

[E07WORLD]

Do you think that there will happen anything to Megauploads users?

[paulopavacic]

[AlexanderAnarchist]

JUSTIN BIEBER IS AN ASS PIRATE!

[Runermanyoyo]

@Trollsnews actually megaupload was shut down not because there were illegal files on the site and they couldn't take them all down, but because they were (very indirectly, probably accidentally) making money off piracy (probably cause some lawyers found a loophole, atleast from what i can read of the text)

Some say it was because they were going to open their own iTunes-like company called MegaBox, in which most of the profits would go to the artist (this would catch artists from Universal etc)
