[QUOTE=sopie;34360029]I wonder how much it'd cost to host a website like megaupload, but on a smaller scale.[/QUOTE]
a lot of hard drives
Eventually pornnsites are going to be hosting legitimate tv shows, because porn sites will steal anything, they don't give a fuck.
This must be the shit the Mayans predicted. No wonder they said fuck this and left on their spaceships. I wouldn't wanna be here either!
Time to backup the dropbox just to be safe.
[QUOTE=Takuat;34358239]Dear American government,
FUCK YOU!
Yours sincerely,
Everyone else in the world.[/QUOTE]
America is not the only dog in the kennel, tons of other countries are planning their own SOPA.
Take down fucking Oron dammit.
Fileserve has now gone the way of filesonic.

fileserve owns filesonic
Better invade America as soon as possible.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH fuck.
I kinda found it funny how Cartoon Network blocked access to Total Drama Island on their website when it aired in Canada first.
Canadian TV shows are good too

They were up yesterday though.
Please don't touch Dropbox. PLEASE.

It's backed up any computer you have it on.
Why is the american government trying to police the world?
This is a SERIOUS abuse of power.
But this is far from being the end. Very, VERY far...

"Thanks."
Jesus christ, no one's touching your dropbox. Are you really that retarded to think that dropbox is the same service as MU?
This is going to obliterate so much stored old content. Stuff where the creator has disappeared will be lost forever.
Trying to find old mods was almost like exploring. It was like a fun "game" in of itself.
It'll be like a plague against anything from before late 2011.

[url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1156839?p=34294428&highlight=#post34294428]Are they fucking kidding me.[/url] Now that I moved them to Filesonic. I guess I'm not going to try it again on a different hoster.
The Internet hates me.
Facepunch: "I don't care as long as they don't take down [i]MY[/i] filesharing site"
Megaupload was a great service, fast download speeds, no caps if you wait a few minutes. People should be upset it's gone.
And it isn't overreacting. Sopa would have been passed already if people hadn't reacted and the fact that these sites are in danger anyway is bad news.

Fighting worldwide crime =/= policing the world.
Well I guess it can be considered policing since police fights crime but whatever.

It is policing though
Policing ranges from sending cops in to sending letters encouraging and disapproving actions.

First they came for the file sharing sites, and I did not speak out,
For I did not share files.
Then they came for the torrent sites, and I did not speak out,
For I did not torrent.
Then they came for the porn tubes....
And I cried like a little bitch.
Cause the ship's going down,
all on account of the weather,
but those who drown, there's no need to frown,
cause we're all going together.
First they came for the file sharing sites, and I did not speak out,

Then they came for the torrent sites, and I did not speak out,
For I did not torrent.
Then they came for me and said "FBI director Contag, it is done"
And medals were given out.

At least we still got Rapidshare.....for now.
Better start pirating EVERYTHING
To quote Princess Leia "The more you try to tighten your grip, the more sites will slip between your fingers."
Now we must go underground.
