Youtube has pirates on it, and as long as SOPA is around, well, can't say youtube is gonna last, SOPA is the Shinra of our time, and its my job as Barret Wallace to stop them, what else is next? Amazon and Ebay, they are next on the list, and as soon as they get the chance, the whole internet is going down, be frightened, Osay, you spent money on hosting this site, SOPA is coming to get us all!
F**k you SOPA.

But SOPA hasn't been passed yet. Megaupload just got shut down by the feds without needing SOPA.

Before a Barrett, we need a Sephiroth to wreak havoc and kill Shinra then send a Cloud to finish off Sephiroth, then the Sviets come and then a Vincent goes and pwns them and
If only.

Not with such importance doted on Youtube by big names, no. I very much doubt Youtube "is next".
Megaupload had no such support, so it was easy pickings.

There no possible way that could be anything but a coincidence or anything.

Megaupload actually had a fair bit of backing, as I recall. I'll check their site for names-- Oh wait. Guess not.
What bothers me most about this was that MU was a legitimate company
in Hong Kong. Merely having some files hosted on a leased server in AZ (I think it was AZ, anyway) was enough for them to figure they had the jurisdiction to take down the site and start arresting foreign citizens. People who were not Americans nor even in the US.

Wait, what? How can they go to other countries and arrest people like that? That's ridiculous.
