Man this chaps my hide
This is actually so ridiculous. Megaupload literally had anti piracy warnings everywhere and would block you from being a top uploader if you hosted pirated content, not to mention the fact that they had a moderation team actively deleting pirated files and implemented filesize limits. Can’t wait for a generation that actually understands the internet to be in charge. IIRC thats more than was sentenced for literally running down two teengaers with a car. this really makes my blood boil.
IIRC the feds found out they were paying groups from East Asia to upload stuff though a reward program they set up on mega.
Sadly this fucked them hard
I just downloaded a game from gdrive. Wait a couple weeks and they are going to close down google
Archive.org is also doomed, I’ve seen to that one personally.
good thing they got these dangerous menaces behind bars! Who knows how many poor widdle defenseless mega corps got hurt :,(
Thats more than drunk driving and killing someone there…
🐷🐷🐷
Instead of keep fighting, they tried to deal with FBI to avoid prison and extradition to the US…
That’s more than people get for killing 15 year olds while driving drunk in NZ. Pathetic.
Wow, i didn’t expect something new from the Megaupload case in 2023
They pleaded guilty, how come?
Probably a plea deal. Plead guilty to a few charges and others are considered closed. If you do not have the millions required to litigate this mess, it is probably the safest option.
