from reddit: the real reason why megaupload was taken down. https://plus.google.com/u/0/111314089359991626869/posts/HQJxDRiwAWq#111314089359991626869/posts/HQJxDRiwAWq

 

clearly states on site.... not anonymous member

 

has anyone been using/ heard of 115
been using it for a while now, the speeds are decent, alot faster than all these ddl sites shutting down.
id usually search for 115 links if there were no mu links.

 

i opened a megaupload link just a few days ago and i coudn't believe this site has been shut down........what abt all these link????
getting arrested oh noooooo
hopefully they will be free very soon

 

Downloading is legal in a lot of countries and if I'm not mistaken you said it yourself Anyway, what about all those legit users that were using it for business, personal backups, etc ? I can understand that they can shutdown a site after a court order, but even before going to court ??? You would think that we all live in some kind of police state and that we only have the illusion of freedom and democracy.

 

some conspiracy theory

when the ship sinks, the rats are the first one to jump

 

Personally, I think the studios just shot themselves in the foot. Here was a free pipeline into the mass market, and instead of capitalizing on it, they decide to shut it down because they're still clinging to old two dimensional business models. What I foresee in the immediate future is that sales of DVD and other media related ad revenue will actually decline. The point is, the free word of mouth that the net provided is now silenced. Very popular hits, which do command high prices for advertising, will no longer be as popular as less people will actually watch.

But this is a beast that is too lucrative to kill. Eventually, it's going to become a mob controlled resource like drugs. That is, anything the people want that the government doesn't want you to have will eventually be supplied by criminal enterprise.

 

anyone used anonyupload yet?
