[QUOTE=Lucario;35656299]Really, I don't think you can call him a criminal. He just hosted a file storage website.[/QUOTE] Uh that isn't all he did. He is also charged with money laundering and racketeering. Both of which I believe there is evidence to support. It really doesn't have [I]that[/I] much to do with piracy.

The guys an asshole and I would be dissapointed if he didn't get charged with anything.

[QUOTE=Lucario;35656299]Really, I don't think you can call him a criminal. He just hosted a file storage website. Yes, he knew people were using his service to illegally share files with each other. Every site that lets you upload files knows this. But even if he did make an attempt to stop it (Which there was if I can recall) it wouldn't be possible. The government just became a bunch of butthurt babies and shut him down rather than targeting the users like they should have. This poor dude was essentially a shield used by his own user base. This little occurrence we have here of him most likely getting off could just be Jesus's way of saving him for he really is innocent. Or maybe the police are just showcasing how dumb they are. Typical American legal system, going for the saving of Hollywood's money over justice. But then we also have those morons who pirate stuff in the first place.. But then again Hollywood is full of garbage that isn't even worth paying a dime for to begin with. And it's not like some 9 year old downloading an mp3 of a Justin Bieber song is going to make a dangerous hole in the profits. You know what, I don't even care anymore. I lost alot of good, legal, and non-pirated files on that site that I'll never recover and I AM STILL ANGRY all these months after the event. [/QUOTE] It amazes me that after all the threads about Megaupload people still think this was done because a couple people hosted pirated content on the sight. There where charges of money laundering and racketeering. It also was alleged that they where actively promoting and paying for pirated content. The "poor dude" is the one who lost all your files.
