    isn't this like arresting gun executives because someone used a gun to murder someone?

    Sure does suck, I have a ton of Android related stuff uploaded to megaupload.
    Fortunately, I have plenty of mirrors.

    I also posted this in the SOPA thread, but are they going to be taking down filesonic, filejungle, filefactory, 2shared, depositfiles, fileserve, rapidshare, hotfile, mediafire, hulkshare, uploadKing, uploadhere, wupload, etc and all the torrent/p2p sites too?

    If not, this didn't do sh-t. lol. Megaupload was one of many, many options. Reminds me of the total ineffectiveness of taking down other sites like Napster and Mininova proved to be.

    Crazy what's going on today. Anonymous takes down the DOJ, MPAA, RIAA, and Universal sites in retaliation of Megaupload being taken down. It's like war going on in cyberspace.

    It's awesome to witness, but they're totally throwing gasoline on this fire.

    Very sketchy with the timing of MU being taken down with yesterday's protests around the net.

    Or the annual "let's shut down streaming sites leading up to the Super Bowl".

    Let's see what else is taken down in the next two weeks.
