MegaUpload Users Plan to Sue the FBI over Lost Files - GoFuckYourself.com

AllAboutCams · 01-26-2012, 06:09 PM

full post
In most reports following the MegaUpload shutdown, the site is exclusively portrayed as a piracy haven.

However, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people used the site to share research data, work documents, personal video collections.

As of today, these people are still unsure whether they will ever get their personal belongings back.

In a response, Pirate Parties worldwide have started to make a list of all the people affected by the raids, and they are planning to file an official complaint against the US authorities.

?The widespread damage caused by the sudden closure of Megaupload is unjustified and completely disproportionate to the aim intended,? they announce.

?For this reason Pirates of Catalonia, in collaboration with Pirate Parties International and other Pirate Parties, have begun investigating these potential breaches of law and will facilitate submission of complaints against the US authorities in as many countries as possible, to ensure a positive and just result.?

?This initiative is a starting point for legitimate internet users to help defend themselves from the legal abuses promoted by those wishing to aggressively lock away cultural materials for their own financial gain.?

Legal experts and citizen rights groups have taken an interest in the issue as well, TorrentFreak learned. The Pirate Parties are the first to make an inventory of the damage, but not the last.

MegaUpload users who want to join in on the action can do so here.

then they made a bad decision when they decided to cheap out and use a place full of stolen merchandise to distribute their files

Qbert · 01-26-2012, 06:30 PM

I'm no lawyer, but their complaint would be with the service provider for allowing the illegal activity that was the reason for seizure and shut down. This will get tossed out of court, if it even gets filed to begin with.

it was a quarter of all corporate internet traffic. more popular than dropbox or any other method.

baryl · 01-26-2012, 06:34 PM

It would be like if there was a self-storage place where the owner was also running a meth lab. You were fully aware of this, still decided to store your stuff there and then complain when it gets busted.

Having a group with the word pirate in its name advocating for "innocent" people is like having a guy who is stoned out of his mind go before congress and advocate for legalizing weed for medicinal purposes.

bronco67 · 01-26-2012, 07:45 PM

There's something funny about "Pirates of Catalonia" suing the FBI.

If you have anything important not backed up locally, then it's on you.

SmutHammer · 01-26-2012, 08:09 PM

They should be arrested for terrorism. sue the FBI... really?....

GetSCORECash · 01-26-2012, 08:16 PM

Can you advice them to not call themselves Pirates. Pirates vs FBI seams like a loss cause for damages.

Blackcrow · 01-26-2012, 09:23 PM

Yeah there are about six different reasons this will go no where. One being that you can't sue the government without their permission. Sometimes they grant that permission, letting the court decide if some agency screwed up or not. I doubt they'll allow this suit to even begin.

DWB · 01-27-2012, 01:13 AM

I lost all my tax records, 8 years of digital personal photos, and business information when megaupload went down. I thought it was safe so I kept everything with them and no back ups on my computer. Figured if Wyclef Jean used them, it must be as safe as my bank where I keep all my money.

lol@Wyclef Jean

Hentaikid · 01-27-2012, 03:35 AM

I hope all these people who used mu for their legit files ONLY used it for this purpose, otherwise the records the FBI has might end up causing them a little bit of bother.

"Here's your files, a bunch of work files, holiday snaps and oh what's this, three seasons of Lost? Interesting."

immportant documents on megaupload, yo mad?

slapass · 01-27-2012, 10:54 AM

Did they round up all three of the legit users or could they only find two?

pimpmaster9000 · 01-27-2012, 12:00 PM

Pirates must be getting so desperate they are obviously resorting to glue sniffing...

"Pirates of catalonia" LOL they should arrest them out of general principal....

epitome · 01-27-2012, 01:02 PM

So do people also sue the FBI when they take out a waste company with mob ties because there is nobody to pick up their trash?

Do companies sue the FBI if they take out a mob tied construction company building their building?

The answer is no. I wish them much luck with the lawsuits they'll never actually file.

grumpy · 01-27-2012, 01:06 PM

if you store your work on a site like that, your an idiot

adendreams · 01-27-2012, 01:08 PM

anyone who knows anything about history knows that the very first pirates were innocent

they were accused of stealing found and collected the treasure off sunken ships.

They were accused of being thieves by the owners of those lost ships.

There defence establish the principle of salvage.

I seriously doubt that the "very first pirates" ever went to trial.

as usual you are wrong and have created a delusional wordview out of god knows what.

first documented pirates = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Peoples

"In his Second Year, an attack of the Sherden, or Shardana, on the Nile Delta was repulsed and defeated by Ramesses, who captured some of the pirates. The event is recorded on Tanis Stele II.[17] An inscription by Ramesses II on the stela from Tanis which recorded the Sherden raider's raid and subsequent capture speaks of the continuous threat they posed to Egypt's Mediterranean coasts:

"the unruly Sherden whom no one had ever known how to combat, they came boldly sailing in their warships from the midst of the sea, none being able to withstand them."

sounds like "salvage" to me.

so a modern day author referes to "the foreign-countries (or 'peoples'[2]) of the sea" as pirates because it that what the modern day meaning is

at you attribute it to the creation of the word, even though it actually the reverse.

read the referenced book to see the context of the term pirates.

and where does it say that the term pirate was used to reference these people

yeah let's see your reference that the first pirates were actually just misunderstood scavengers.

porno jew · 01-28-2012, 01:31 AM

curious what the source is. do you have another special internet you have access to?
