Wow, even an endorsement from Kim Kardashian couldn't save them.

So why do they need sopa anyways?
So, still trying to figure out how to regulate the Internet, they take down megauploads, meanwhile, anonymous simultaneously takes down doj, mpaa, riaa, and universal music group. http://rt.com/usa/news/anonymous-doj-universal-sopa-235/ Anonymous 4, Feds 1. Do they honestly think they'll be able to make a dent in this fight?

They should not shut them down. Just infect them with a virus that affects all those who copy, use, and distribute those files.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Glen-
Your comment gives the impression that you aren't in favor of going after those who intentionally participate in the theft of intellectual property. Is that correct? |

Speaking of copyrights, Bob...did you ever get a copy of A Prayer for Owen Meany?

Lobo-
It should have arrived today, but we are having a major ice and snow storm here in the Seattle area, so I guess delivery will be a day or two late. Am looking forward to reading it. Best- Bob |

Haha. Didn't think about that, but it was insane outside today. They don't know how to handle snow out here. Back East this would have been nothing to write home about. Here it has crippled everything.

To be sure, MegaUpload was taken down on allegations of *criminal* copyright infringement on US soil. The feds didn't need SOPA because the MegaUpload guys decided to use US servers to run their site. Had they not, we would have been in SOPA territory. And they wouldn't be facing jail time. Kinda short sighted on their part I guess.
In case anyone's curious, here's the indictment against the MegaUpload guys: http://www.scribd.com/doc/78786408/Mega-Indictment |

I am waiting for my local public Library to get busted. Anyone with a Library card (free) can take home many different books, CD's and DVD's without any money changing hands and no money going to the Artist's and Author's of these properties.
I often loan my DVD's and Books to Family and Friends. I guess I should be thrown in Jail or fined as well. Iven

http://xkcd.com/932/ Lol, yes, saw that earlier today. The big difference is one group is using guns and cages, the other is using ones and zeros. Arresting these people is like arresting the postman/postmaster general for the contents of letters and packages other people mailed.

@irossall
loaning and theft are 2 different things, your comment was way out of context and is totally wrong. not a very good try to sound humor @gdw - it's not sharing it's blatant theft, no matter how you try to twist it to suit your viewpoint. wafj! |

Duaut, so you are saying it's all fine if the people who download eventually give the file back to the person who uploaded it? Because that would be the defining difference there.
Newer news on something older. http://gizmodo.com/5877740/supreme-court......in-works I'm curious, who gets to "own" these recopyrighted works? Who does the money suddenly start gong to?
