The indictment accuses the company of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content.

that's because they'd sue people for thousands of dollars per song, that's not the "damages". though honestly that number does seem low to me, I would have thought it would be more.

megaupload does nothing to police the illegal files because they know that's 90% of their traffic. That's not 100% true, as a uh observer of these things, I've noticed plenty of Megaupload links get taken down because of claims/complaints from copyright holders etc, just like every other upload site. Perhaps less than the other sites, but still. -- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Won't last, given most of the stuff on MU is completely legal and their terms specifically say that sharing copyrighted material isn't allowed. It would have to be proven that the people in charge of that site knowingly allowed illegal links, which is almost impossible and MU was deleting thousands of links daily. But yeah, this only proves that governments will overstep their bounds no matter what the people do. I don't know. This seems more like a message ultimately sent by corporations than the government actually trying to do something that will last by "overstepping their bounds." -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
