Feds Shut Down Megaupload
Source: Liberty Confidential
The Justice Department has issued a statement about its takedown of file-sharing site Megaupload. According to their statement, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom, and three other Megaupload execs were arrested today in New Zealand.
The arrest was made at the request of U.S. officials. Prosecutors said three other Megaupload defendants are still “at large.”
“This action is among the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought by the United States,” the Justice department boasts in a statement about the indictment. A copy of the Justice Dept’s statement has been (ironically) uploaded to a Pastbin, for your downloading …um, pleasure? Displeasure? Anyhoo…
FOX News is reporting: “Federal prosecutors have shut down one of the world’s largest file-sharing sites, Megaupload.com, on charges of violating piracy laws — a day after a 24-hour blackout of popular websites such as Wikipedia drew national attention to the issue.”
An AP story similarly reports: “An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart online piracy.”
I’m sure employees of the Justice Department are rejoicing at the take-down of Megaupload. And, son-of-a-bitch, they did this without either SOPA or PIPA! Can you believe it? Full post at Liberty Confidential
