It was shut down because the NWO call all the shots !

That's why no one gives a toss that they're disappearing. They won't be missed.

That's just completely untrue?

Megaupload was just the start, we all know what is coming next.
It needs to end.

This is just the start, watch what is going to happen to the sharing sites. All of them is coming to an end, fast. To end all of this digital issues streaming services need to come stronger and cheaper. Internet lines must upgrade and available everywhere.

Digital revolution is starting right now.

As I said, most people have never heard of them. They occupy a darker corner of the Internet. They're a throw back to the 1990's web in some ways. Black background web pages, DoubleClick style advertising, popup boxes galore, countdown clocks before your download begins. All things associated with malware infestations. That's why no one gives a toss that they're disappearing. They won't be missed.

What?

Do you think people will stop using them because they might get shut down and the server details and etc could be passed on to find people downloading copyrighted material?

Personally no I don't think details will be passed on but I do think the sites will be shut down and stopped for assistance in piracy.

Maybe the "revolution" will be that the newbies of the Internet finally discover BitTorrent and Usenet. Rather than pay out for premium accounts on these silly 1990's-throwback virus-infested file hosting sites.

I think you might be thinking of the wrong site NathanE. Pretty much anyone who is or isn't a PC junkie will have heard of or used Megaupload before.

I wish you would stop spurting crap. Torrenting is just as vulnerable to having anybody upload anything, so is Newsgroups.

Torrent sites will go too you just watch this space.

Since I started using Spotify I've not downloaded no music, that was about 2 years ago.

The difference is that BitTorrent and Usenet aren't exploitable to an extent that remote code execution is frequently made a possibility. Web browsers with all their tatty Flash and Acrobat plugins are, or frequently can be.

Anyone defending these sites is, by definition, an Internet newbie. They are the junkiest of junky sites on the Internet, only beaten by scummy porn sites.

You are thinking of the wrong site. There are certainly countless dodgy sites like megaupload, but MU itself is (was ) a rather large company.

 

[NathanE]

No they won't. The other difference between these junky sites and BitTorrent and USENET is that one are commercialised websites and the other are Internet protocols.

You can't just kill off an Internet protocol, even if you're the US government.

 

[Begbie]

NathanE, what are you on?

Megaupload was not like this at all. You talk about newsgroups, but they are subscription based too?

Public torrents are horrible, full of crap, hard to find anything.

I do agree though private torrents and newsgroups > paid for FTP.

I imagine that other similar sites have shut themselves down temporarily so they can revisit how they manage the DMCA.

Megaupload, rapidshare, the like have no malware on them or anything of the sort. You're talking complete trash. Give me one reference where a remote code exploit has taken place on one of these sites?

Citing Newsgroups as an alternative to premium accounts is a bit of a laugh too, considering you have to pay for decent access in the vast majority of cases.

Nothing stopping megaupload still setup the site is there? As long as it stay legit

Other than the "board" being arrested and/or "on the run" and all their assets frozen...

It's not a hard concept. It's very simple. Also aren't there already such sites for unsigned bands.
Its not the reason at all. Anyone with a bit of money can build such a site and there's nothing the music industry could do.

Why do it for that reasons? It's well known they want such sites shut down anyway and they seem to have the evidence needed.
