That's the sort of thing that they would put in the indictment. Surely you know this.

Ddos isn't hacking you idiot
DDOS attacks never get old.They also took down BMI, Copyright.gov, and hacked MPAA chief Chris Dodd's personal website and dumped the database of the Utah Chiefs of Police association website with personal details and logins.Quote:

"One To Hang" is a sweet system. Could the DOJ's action partially be a retaliation against the SOPA backlash? Way to kick over another hornets' nest.
Maybe future FS sites and those still standing should let people password-protect their links (not just the files) if desired- and FFS not put servers in the USA.
If the allegations against them are true, Megaupload's operators are far from innocent. They actively encouraged many users to upload pirated stuff, deliberately manipulated the 'top 100 downloads' list to hide infringement, payed only lip service to rightsholders who asked for their content to be taken down, and snitched to the government on their competitors.
They aren't innocent victims. They lived like kings off of other people's work and now they're getting their comeuppance.
I don't agree with imprisoning them or extraditing them from other sovereign nations, but civil litigation and forfeiture of their shit is more than called for if they did what they're accused of.
yeah they did some horrible shit, it's just kind of convenient that it (the bust) happens today of all days
