the war has started and SOPA isnt even law yet.

Gotta give props to Swiss Beats haha!

That's bullshit, MU was one of the fastest file hosts. Like I seen other people say, R.I.P Megaupload.

[Rob Swanson]

For the longest time it sounded like the company had no ties to US soil, and the owner was a rich Russian investor. Apparently appointing Swiss as CEO was all the feds needed for a green light?


Apparently Youtube is protected under the DMCA safe harbors, but others aren't?

fuck

[check two]

Putlocker/sockshare and Videoweed are where it's at to stream shows. No time limits.

[Rob Swanson]

Maybe the concept of "file sharing" will enter a retarded prohibition-type phase since apparently only evil people share files. No one would ever use it for legitimate purposes.

What exactly are you trying to say here? He's a cunt because he was running a separate business entity outside of the music sphere? Or because he apparently reaped the profits of (insert bogus mpaa/riaa figure) these last few years?

I misread a few posts and thought swizz was ceo of sopa, boy do i feel like a twitter thug.

still don't like swizz cos hes wack other than a few songs, but sopa are cunts, if they carry on like this the internet will get lame. i read that millions of youtube videos might get taken down over this bullshit, as if its affecting anyones sales.

lobby dollars @ work.

Let's throw in the towel and destroy our last life line this country has for job growth and innovation. Let's set Silicon Valley on fire because the Rupert Murdochs are sitting in their shit-packed adult diapers, screaming because one will by the 3rd sequel for Harold & Kumar.

We can let the baby boomers take us down with them or we can start the mass euthanization process.

ndaa passes, nobody really rages.
Megaupload shuts down, automatic war against the US.

But seriously, how does american claim to be a democracy when the rich can throw the poor in jail for eating the crumbs out of their beard.
