    my guess is that it'll be back up within 9 days.

    Actually, they're back up under a different domain atm, at least that's what rumors are saying . They're working on building a court case to get back what they had before, but that can take who knows how long. Knowning the gov't they'll just say this is interfering with SOPA and your copyrighting your lawyers (who knows).

    As for why they were shut down isn't because they were sharing illegal material, it was the fact that they were willingly putting this sort of information and files out for everyone to obtain. And they were even making incentives for people to get upload these files, such as spreading emails such as "Uploading xxxxxx documents on our site" or stuff like paying people for doing this kinds of stuff. It's a lot deeper then we perceive it, (from what I've read at least). It's going to be interesting, apparently The Pirate Bay is going to be next on the chopping block by the looks of it. But they put out a statement yesterday talking about how they aren't afraid of SOPA, they can't get rid of them. They'll just move to another domain like they've done many times before. Going to be an interesting few months...

    Also whats ironic, they're putting a hold on any more SOPA actions for a bit (voting wise) because support is starting to waver in different directions... Ironically this happened a few hours AFTER megaupload was taken down... if only they had done it a few hours earlier.

    not a single one of those accusations is going to stick. basically, the ONLY reason they got pulled is because they fucked up and bought discounted server space in virginia which is located in the US. that meant that the american film industry could finally press charges.

    Megaupload, we already know how little the gov't cares about peoples rights lol, they'll take you to court, pick some random civil court case from the renaissance and say AND THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T CROSS THE STREET ON A GREEN LIGHT, then they'll take your house, money, family, and cut off both your feet as punishment, just cause they can.

    If you ask me, Megaupload was not taken down just because of copyright infragment.
    His owner was known troublemaker even before this shit started.

    This was only a great opportunity to take it down.
