Update: Rick Shera, a New Zealand-based attorney, reports on Twitter that Kim Dotcom's mansion is blockaded by police at all entrances. No escaping this one, it seems.
Kim Dotcom? The man was destined to run a website.

Rapidshare —-> Eliminated
Hotfile ——-> Eliminated
Wupload ——-> Eliminated (Self Elimination)
Megaupload —-> Assassinated
Filesonic —–> Pending
Fileserve —–> In Queue
Who’s Next ???
I thought the word has been out for several months at least that you don't use .com names and you don't host servers in the United States (or Western European countries) if you are engaged in file sharing activities (where people share copyrighted materials). Anyone else think the management of Megaupload was stupid?
Megaupload is back at 109.236.83.66 Let's see if the FBI site etc. can recover from anonymous' counterattack as quickly. #Megaupload

Duckload was killed too. But Fileserve is definitely next. All their servers are in US.Quote:

more misuse of the american taxpayers dollars at work. We all know these kind of activities will never stop or even slow down file sharing. It's kinda like the millions the gov't spends on stopping Marijuana from coming in through the Mexican border. When 90% of the stuff in the states came from California or is homegrown.

So in defense of a highly profitable business of questionable ethics Anonymous unilaterally decides to put the security of thousands of innocents at risk.Again who are the real villains here?
I'm all for "Fight the Power" but this is just more childish muscle flexing.The U.N.?Want to do something really brave?How about fighting the Russian mob or something?
@idle: Missed that clip, and can't access it now, but wasn't this just operation Avenge Lasagna or whatever mkII? IE using LOIC to shutdown a few sites related to the industry and/or government? Not exactly the crime of the century if so.
I'd like it if it had any positive effects at all, but it'll probably make the reactionary fuckwits running the show get even more entrenched in their foxholes of stalwart ignorance towards the intricacies and workings of any technology introduced after the eighties.

And if Megaupload really did make as much money as they say, why in the world haven't UMG or someone tried running their own filehosting service allowing personal backups and approved media? Given how much money MegaUpload are supposed to have made off subscriptions and advertisements, I don't understand why they aren't trying. They could make money from any old dodgy rips off of their own stuff, and legally.
