Now what have we here?
*In December of 2011, just weeks before the takedown, Digital Music News reported on something new that the creators of #Megaupload were about to unroll. Something that would rock the music industry to its core. (http://goo.gl/A7wUZ )
I present to you… MegaBox. MegaBox was going to be an alternative music store that was entirely cloud-based and offered artists a better money-making opportunity than they would get with any record label.
“UMG knows that we are going to compete with them via our own music venture called Megabox.com , a site that will soon allow artists to sell their creations directly to consumers while allowing artists to keep 90 percent of earnings,” MegaUpload founder Kim ‘Dotcom’ Schmitz told Torrentfreak
Not only did they plan on allowing artists to keep 90% of their earnings on songs that they sold, they wanted to pay them for songs they let users download for free.
“We have a solution called the Megakey that will allow artists to earn income from users who download music for free,” Dotcom outlined. “Yes that’s right, we will pay artists even for free downloads. The Megakey business model has been tested with over a million users and it works.”*

I only want life-like sex-bots to become reality so I can troll HORD with realness. Just imagine a piece of malware that makes your bot adorn herself with cooked spaghetti while you sleep! Would that not be too god damn weird, to wake up with your cyber-woman covered in Sam’s Choice spaghetti that she cooked up while you were asleep?
Worst part about ACTA: Obama signed off on it a long time ago.
“Any provision covering Internet intermediaries such as online advertising networks, payment processors, or search engines must be transparent and designed to prevent overly broad private rights of action that could encourage unjustified litigation that could discourage startup businesses and innovative firms from growing,” said The White House. “We expect and encourage all private parties, including both content creators and Internet platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and best practices to reduce online piracy.”
That’s Obeezy’s response to SOPA.
I try not to throw cliches carelessly into discussions about politicians… but what a hypocrite.
These assholes have ulterior motives for their ulterior motives for their ulterior motives.
It would have been, but it cuts out the record labels even further. My guess is, they heard about this, went ballistic, and had the RIAA on the phone to the FBI. Pretty much anything good for artists is bad for the industry. It’s a shame too because this MegaBox thing could have really changed the industry.

1981? I’d think 1984 would be a more suitable name.
Same, can’t beat NZBMatrix!

You know, now that I think about it, why is it that there has never been a big crackdown on newsgroups?
Didn’t newsgroups win a case a while ago? Remember reading it in a comment somewhere so take it with a grain of salt.
News-Service.com, one of the leading Usenet providers with many prominent resellers, has terminated its services with immediate effect. The shutdown is the direct and unavoidable outcome of a two-year battle with Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN, which...
It’s coming!!! It’s probably next in line to get fucked in the ass. The fact that it cost money and a bit of tech savvy might be why it’s not as popular as torrent or cloud services but corporations are taking notice.

Is there any action being taken to stop this BS?
