McLEAN, Virginia (AP) — One of the world's largest file-sharing sites was shut down Thursday, and its founder and several company executives were charged with violating piracy laws, federal prosecutors said.
An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart online piracy.
The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, formerly known as Kim Schmitz, and three others were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Two other defendants are at large.
Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.
The Hong Kong-based company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO.
Before the site was taken down, it posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were "grotesquely overblown."
"The fact is that the vast majority of Mega's Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch," the statement said.
A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined comment Thursday.
Megaupload is considered a "cyberlocker," in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.
The website allowed users to download films, TV shows, games, music and other content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.
The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Virginia.
Dotcom, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, made more than $42 million from the conspiracy in 2010 alone, according to the indictment.
Dotcom is founder, former CEO and current chief innovation officer of Megaupload.

I can't load up the site from my phone. Server times out. Maybe you can load it from their ip address? I have been doing research and that's the flaw in sopa.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever gone to that forum. There's nothing wrong with the OP starting this thread here.

MEGAUPLOAD SHUT DOWN Indicted
Does anyone think creating individual forum sections for carriers would be worthwhile? I was thinking a place to discuss coverage, prices, features, pros, cons, apps for each major carrier (ie Verizon, at&t, Sprint, Tmobile, and of course biggies in other countries).
Wonderful Idea!!!
Just one issue: it would get WAY OUT of hand...
Carrier lovers vs. Angry Customers
Just think about how many mods would have to go through those forums... Mods would be moderating all day/night...
Such forums, if ever launched, would get shut down...

There are plenty of oddly controversial topics discussed here... WP 7.5 vs Android.
I actually envisioned somewhere where you can discuss rate plans, specials, deals, coverage, LTE, contracts, etc. Some of that information is available scattered throughout the forum but there is no central repository. I just thought it might be worth a go.
Plus I don't think there are carrier "lovers." Their are people that hate particular carriers, but the rest of us use our particular carrier for utilitarian reasons. Some of us may have flaws in our logic or facts from time to time but I wouldn't confuse that with "love."
Carrier lover? I think everyone hates their carrier equally. None of them are really great, they charge way too much, and don't care about if your service actually works. Not much more to discuss after that. THREAD CLOSED.
As for the idea in the OP about carrier forums, sounds great! Might help people which carrier has better reception in their area, get a better deal, etc. Might help figure out carrier specific issues.

What this guy said.....
Also, our main focus here is development. There isn't much that would be said in such a forum that you couldn't find in each carriers own support forums.

Excuse me... you have no authority to close this thread... you have every right to report this to a moderator so that this thread alone doesn't get out of hand, which I completely agree with, but you absolutely have no right this thread... You are a member, not a moderator...
I apologize if I come off as rude or insulting but this was just wrong.

Which post you referring to?
If you mean my post, it is a joke. Just a joke, kinda like that would be the extent of the carrier fanboy discussion. Again just some comedy. Read it as a joke and maybe you will laugh. It was not my intent to close this thread, I hate when threads are closed by anyone. Just a little humor regarding the carrier fanboy war comments!
