It will always be hilarious how much corporations flipped their shit over MegaUpload, even though many other file-host services are still up and doing the same thing (MediaFire, Google Drive, the new Mega, etc.).

It is, but apparently, it's been taken over by a Chinese stockholder and Kim Dotcom urges people not to use it.

Also, I do see it being used in certain circles.

One of the comments on the article (yeah, I know) mentions how the feds were and are serious about locking this guy up, while they also won't touch the Wells Fargo execs for their fraud issues.

I see the US government is still assblasted over SOPA not passing. I remember when it was clear to them that it was going to fail, they arrested Kim Dotcom in retaliation. They then got hacked by Anonymous a few hours later. It was fantastic.

Why does the US have such a hard on for this guy again? I'm guessing he pissed off a corporate overlord but really have no clue. All I know is he never lived in the US.

You're right, when you fuck with corporate or rich people's money and you aren't a rich person or corporation yourself you must be destroyed.

Besides being at the height of hosting pirated content, they want to make an example of someone for piracy, & he's WAY easier to go after than someone from say Google (Google Drive) & easier to track down than Rapidshare or Mediafire.

The fundamental idea is that he got rich off of the backs of other people's work. CEO's do this exact same thing, but they still can hold to the illusion that their position was acquired over a lifetime of hard work and effort. Him doing this blatantly without maintaining the same illusion is why they view it as unacceptable. They can't have people blatantly destroying the illusions they are trying to uphold.

Why is that? I'm not in anyway dismissing the work they do. Elon Musk is probably a more efficient of a worker than anyone in the country. That doesn't mean he isn't making money off of the work that thousands of other people are doing for him though. The dude literally slept on a couch at one of his factories for months just so he would never have to leave.
