Federal indictment claims popular Web site Megaupload.com shared pirated material

View Photo Gallery — Sites they claim to have breached: A day after many Web sites participated in a protest against the SOPA anti-piracy bill, the Justice Department announced it was shutting down file-sharing site Megaupload.com over piracy violations. Soon after, Anonymous took credit for shutting down the federal agency’s Web site. Here’s a look at other cyberattacks the informal hacking group has claimed credit for.


Federal authorities shut down one of the Web’s most popular sites Thursday on charges that it illegally shared movies, television shows and e-books, prompting hackers to retaliate by blocking access to several Web sites, including those of the Justice Department and Universal Music.

The shutdown of Megaupload was part of a federal indictment accusing the company of running an international criminal organization that allowed consumers to easily watch or share pirated content. The site’s offerings were a virtual bazaar of what the Internet has to offer, including pornography and illegally copied video games, federal officials said. In some cases, people could see movies before they were released in theaters.

Not going to lie, America isn't very democratic

As much as I enjoy watching a pirated movie you have to think what if this was your product you were trying to sell.
A theft by any other name is still a crime.

You know you can watch as many movies as you want for $8 per month at Netflix, so buying bootleg movies off some thug in a parking lot out of his trunk for $5 each isn't cheaper.
Plus I watch blu ray movies, once you watch a blu ray you will never want to watch even a dvd again, let alone the crap quality of these bootlegs.
Lately I haven't watched any movies though, I been too busy with ZE and school.

LOL Scag, be careful about what you admit to, government is always watching

If everyone pirates movies and music theyll put the whole media industry out of buisness your stealing someones product its like shoplifting or any other theft...are you saying if you dont have the money to buy a car it should be alright for you to just steal one?

haha exactly what I was saying JAD.

Hey mr. Zorg I hope you understand but i do not have money to buy rubies so I will steal some, hope you dont mind. lol
