Yeah, your government. If it's so bad, don't vote for Obama. Pretty simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigrun 1,064 Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah, your government. If it's so bad, don't vote for Obama. Pretty simple. i know but if we end up with romney (satan) things will be even worse. and obama didnt make the call it was all the republicans that have the majority in the house, so obama couldnt do a thing even if he wanted to.

Sigrun 1,064 Posted January 23, 2012 then don't vote for Obama or Romney. either if its a republican candidate or democratic it wont matter. republican president = bye bye internet (might as well, just look at where its heading to with these bills) democratic = cant do JACK because the republicans are in the house (and will try to keep it that way) PS: i cant legally vote yet the only reason i speak because i am outraged of what they tried to do and what the might be going to do next.

The One Truth 48 Posted January 23, 2012 Damn FBI did a number on this. A lot file sharing sites are deleting anything copyright after megaupload got taken down. Well sad to say but oh well. I didn't really download anything really. Rarely even did now in days. So eh I don't have anything to lose. For you guys who used those sites often well...sorry.

Azure Flame 670 Posted January 23, 2012 Well, as for Megaupload, it was taken down because the feds said it facilitated illegal downloads. It's not the sites faults, but the fault of the people uploading and downloading this stuff. However, since they can't go out and arrest every one of them, they instead turn on the companies that created the websites these people use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Friend 81 Posted January 23, 2012 I bet 20 dollars that this wont last for to long, sure a few sties will go down and we lose something but in general the FBI will get lazy again and stuff will start to pop up, they probably only doing anything about it is because they probably got "donations" from the movie, music, bla bla industry. i bet you if the music and movie industry did not "donate" money i bet the FBI would not even care, pretty much like pirating TV and torrents will forever be around because main data (the file you are downloading besides the torrent data it self) are not on a server. They are stored on other peoples computers., maybe the companies that make the torrent software might go down but there will always be people that can always make another (and better) one to replace it. ALSO we are now losing Rapidshare http://thehiddentech.com/rapidshare-shutdown/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were breaking the law, they deserved to be arrested. As for the other file-sharing sites taking down copyrighted stuff, they are doing the smart thing. I feel no sympathy for those complaining that is is harder to get their ILLEGAL downloads. Oh yeah, about Obama, I would rather have him than any of the Republican candidates.
