Why Big Media Really Shut Down MegaUpload: To Kill The Competition - Page 3

NinkobEi · Jan 26, 2012, 02:36 PM

The guy had servers in america (Virginia) distributing pirated material. That is why the US had jurisdiction to arrest him. His stupid ass should have kept servers in one neutral country like TPB

@TheMailMan78 - man you are making preemptive PR here. Conspiracy theorist are RIAA, cause they conspire against a legit business, seeing it as a competitor. What they did is effectively killing that business and dragging people in court for some expensive years of proving their innocence. As a direct result of that millions of users lost their data on MegaUpload servers. Are they all pirates? Do RIAA have proof for that, and what kind of proof is that - stated in Court decisions or some hypothetical assumption of guilt. In my country , some 55 years ago 20 000 people were killed and then , 12 months after burial in unmarked graves, some of the were tried in Court post-mortem for conspiring against the state. Those are Dark Ages man... !

Where are the mass graves for pirates? There are none?! Oh well carry on.

Not worried in the slightest.

I'll tell you a funny story from my childhood. When I was a little boy, somewhere around 1987-1988 , I had my first classes in German language. My teacher was a young and really nice lady - great enthusiast then, just graduated in DDR. So I was training my skills in German by turning on a radio and trying to understand native German radio broadcast. I was somewhat lousy at that , so decided to ask for help. I went to my teacher and asked her what was the meaning of the word "Welle", but my pronunciation seems to be lousy too, so at first she didn't understand me said that I should use the word in a sentence. Then I spoke : "Deutsche Welle". Next thing I wish I've never seen. My beautiful teacher got scared to death and left the room.

That is totalitarian state man.

No mass graves means revolution. I'm thinking the Balkans maybe?

gorg_graggel · Jan 26, 2012, 03:31 PM

hence why he's saying he was taking lessons in the german language?

I just caught the fact you said 55 years ago. My mistake. I thought you said in the 80's there was mass graves.....yeah there was a lot of mass graves 55 years ago in Europe. The US isnt Nazi Germany..........yet. I also dunno how you figure the RIAA is anything like the Nazis.

jmcslob · Jan 26, 2012, 03:46 PM

I don't like this because now I have to find alternate ways to get free TV shows legally...
As in streaming is legal but downloading is Piracy....I stream LOL

I'm sorry but having to watch adds should be enough of a payment imo.....

I also don't like this because I actually believe this is Corporate Wellfare....Someone found a legitimate new type of business model that can be profitable but instead of working with them they instead prosecuted them...

I think the problem here isn't a matter of piracy but a matter of cutting lawyers out of the equation...we can't have that...they are needed in the middle collecting money and jacking up prices needlessly.

well, they (RIAA) behave like that when you correlate fascism to money instead of nationality...

And I can see the link between free media/pirates to communism. Doesn't mean I think Qubit is Stalin. Keep it in perspective man.
