They always think they need more power.

No I meant normally when you type a word, halfway through google search just pops up with the word below the search bar as it already has the site recognised. But that isn't the case anymore. Of course I can see the site url after I type it into google, but can't access it.
Sharing entertainment digitally is similar to letting someone borrow your entertainment physically like say your DVD.

Snaps. Oh well, there are dozens of other good filesharing sites, so I'm gonna put this in the "Not that big of a deal" section of my life.

Your sig is perfect for this! XD |
I once hated his sig because I literally clicked ten times on it until I realized it's just a pic. Now I love it because I imagine all the other users making the same damn mistake as me.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.
Sucks. A lot of the Android devs use this to distribute their roms and such. For my personal use, I just use dropbox. But for public stuff, I'd have to use one of the many file sharing sites.
They probably shut it down as it was also a MAJOR site used to deliver black market movies. Probably a few others on the same chopping block.

Well, Megaupload has been around for years and has probably cost copyright holders a lot of money over time. SOPA and/or PIPA would make sites close down much more quickly.
Not that I support SOPA or PIPA, as I believe that such matters should go to court first, as a civil matter, and the burden of proof should be on the accuser, not the defender... which these laws change completely. But this case is evidence why bills like SOPA/PIPA were ever conceived, because dealing with sites like Megaupload took too long.

There needs to be a way which allows for people who have legitimate reason to share files, to be able to do so in a public place. The problem lies in the fact that these services are too often abused by those wanting to flaunt copyright laws. Google are doing quite a good job with Youtube, but they've been able to develop algorithms which can pick up content which is copyright. There needs to be a way to do this with file downloads... but it is probably impossible due to how easy it is to hide the contents of a file.
