Hands off YouTube. >=/

I wouldn't mind them shutting down Facebook too much. It'd encourage more people to switch to G+.

How do you know? You don't you're just guessing.

Also what stupid reasoning 'never bet against the mind'

Wait YouTube is still up ?
How can they survive when every video is an infringement of a copyright.

Once again, their work can only prove to be counterproductive. SOPA and PIPA fell because people don't like it when you dick with their internet, but that applies to all parties who might be conducting such interference

Although it is becoming clear that MegaUpload's fall was the result of government overreach. It is going to be a very interesting court case when the whole thing goes to trial

Well, as others have said, I think that this is just about one of the dumbest things they could do. Taking down major sites like Youtube will only make people pissed off at them, and alienate a lot of people from the cause they're fighting for. I get why they want to do it, but I think they're going about it all wrong if this is true. I'd be pretty pissed if they took down Youtube.

No, it isn't at all.  The takedown system doesn't take down the infringing content, it removes the link to it.  The content remains and is still accessible.  Also MegaUpload limited the number of takedown notices a copyright holder could issue on a daily basis, and then only expanded it if/when it was financially prudent for them to do so. 

No, when a YouTube video is removed, it is inaccessable by both the original uploader as well as the public.  In addition, the public is notified that the content was removed due to infringement (kinder language is used).  The original uploader is notified that their content has been removed, linked to YouTube's upload policy, and reminded that they get one more strike before they go to copyright school or get banned.

Hmmm...the dispute thing sounds new.  I've posted videos with music in them, and I don't recall ever seeing the opportunity to dispute a single instance.  I even recently received one.

I've seen on the TV news that the big boss of MU is a big fat guy with tens of super cars and live in the US, not in HK. He is charged for reselling illegal things, not just storing user's files.
Anonymous is just a bunch of over-self-esteemed hackers that are pitiful. I hope XBox Live is strong enough to resist those stupid immature hackers.

They should attack something that would lose millions by going a few minutes down, but isn't visited by the average internet user. Imagine nasdaq and the like going down.

Oh, and PSN and XBL too. The angry responses you get by even suggesting it are hilarious.
