For those who dont pay attention to the news too much.
MegaVideo and MegaUpload has been shut down by the US Government after a claim by movie industry and music industry that megavideo and megaupload has caused $500 million dollars.
The people who created/ran Megaupload have been arrested. The part that confuses me is, What gives the US government the right to arrest people who run a company thats not even based in the US?
Does US Law apply to the whole world?

Exactly, now you know the influence of the US around the whole world. Regardless of the industry claim, the owners were also charged within their country with charges of money laundering and posssession of illegal weapons.

They leased some servers on US soil in Virginia I think it was, thus they could claim the copyright laws because it technically happened on US land.

Help spread the word about APPA, its a more dangerous version of the SOPA/PIPA bill. APPA is what gave the govt the power to shut down the website I believe. There are also numerous other file-sharing sites under investigation/already shut down. http://pastebin.com/3gjTuKQS

Any government has the power to shut down any website. Do you honestly think the internet is not monitored?

It's bad for the owner of MegaVideo/Upload in a few ways:
1st, obviously, he's going to jail. That always sucks.
2nd, he WAS number one in the world in [due to NF regulations, game cannot be named] that one game that is part of the best selling franchise in history. Now, though, due to his incarceration, he is NUMBER 2. I'll bet he's regretting piracy just because of that.

YOU may think it's funny, but porn is a big problem. It's good that MegaPorn got shut down, now stupid 13 year olds trying to get a "fix" will get caught. Pornography should NEVER come up in any forum thread, no matter the topic. Forum moderators need to police the threads more.
