Well, I think we all knew this was coming... Let's hope it stops here.

It won't stop until "millions of innocent users" cease to use such servers for pirating and other illegal things.

someone needs to scour the tos. you can sue the us government for this. if you paid for a service and followed the contract you have rights. smh so the FBI went and downloaded all the content they wanted for "evidence"

PR companies used it every day, I noticed lately they all switched to using YouSendIt which isn't nearly as fast for some reason.

I know the flight sim community heavily depended on it for larger scale projects. There was a big uproar over at the avsim forums when news came of the shut down. I feel it for those guys, but I do hope they had offline back-ups.

I know tons of people that have mega upload accounts for legit and private files and stuff. I laugh and say you have a mega upload account apparently tons of people do.

Torrent sites only seed things that are popular so this really does suck.

Plus, all these other file sharing sites like Fileserve are closing shop for the most part.

Fuck our government! Now all the obscure music, movies, anime, etc. that I like is now impossible to get ahold of because: 1. the stuff is out of print or never received a public release or 2. is overpriced by the lack of an import market in america.

so to reiterate, FUCK OUR GOVERNMENT and fuck that Jim Sterling looking fat idiot for using American servers!
