But what of it?
There is no such thing as extra-territorial jurisdiction.
US laws stop at US borders.

SOPA could not seize servers that are not on US soil.
SOPA could not affect advertising networks that are not on US soil.
Look at Internet gambling as an example of making it illegal for VISA and other US companies to process their payments -- they are still in business aren't they?

Which is why the law needs to include DNS. Still taking away the flow of money will hurt these guys the most. They were not paying for uploaders out of the goodness of their hearts, they were doing it from the proceeds they received. From advertisers and processors. Was that Paypal as usual?

As the guy on Wikipedia said "follow the money". Better still, cut it off. :thumbsup

You must be very new to this game or very dumb. Here's how it's done.

Pay affiliates a lot of money to send loads of traffic.
Spend loads of money to support them and find more.
Spend as little as possible on the rest, except the tour design.

Then throw out 1,000s of freebies a day so 1 or 2 buy. Increase the freebies, increase the buyers. Like 2,000 freebies and 2-4 people buy. And so on just start adding zeros.

Hope that cleared up how online porn works. :thumbsup

If GG doesn't know what piracy is really about, he's dumber than I thought. And that was pretty dumb already.

Think outside the box for a minute.

Manwin buy up loads of archives or companies with loads of archives. They then adopt a model similar to MU. Low cost downloads of porn. No affiliate payments and running it like these guys did. Without the user uploads. Plus adverting other sites.

Feasible or not?

These guys were making money, enough to get the attention of someone like Manwin and think of a way to sell themselves without the "traffic" costs being so high?

will copy and paste this and post it in reply to GG's posts.

FFS give me a break.

Firstly, warrants were executed overnight in several countries, Australia and NZ being two of the many involved. Secondly if you read between the lines of the official statements being made then this is probably the first of many takedown operations that will transpire this year.

Anyone processing a hundred million dollars is going to attract the attention of all sorts of authorities.

Fact is Megaupload offered inducements, constantly failed to act against infringements and according to the police they have pretty good evidence that they even engaged in deliberate infringements themselves.

The raids will have happened because the investigation was at that stage, not because of what was going on politically. Global actions like this take lots of preparation and depend on many factors.

i didn't say it was
but do you really think proving that you can get foreign site without sopa is the best action to do while your fighting for sopa.

the raid once ready could have waited a month or two to go forward.

btw look at the arguements made

they are very similar to those made by viacom against youtube, search for pauls smoking gun threads to see.

They were charged under the RICO statute -- organized crime and racketeering for criminal copyright infringement.

Let's see how the Defendants answer the charges at trial ... They are looking at as much as 55 years at Fed-Med.

See the Third Party Defendants whose property is being seized p. 18 - 20

That, ultimately, may help strengthen the business--and the emotional--case for the pro-SOPA, pro-PIPA lobby. Did the feds just get the last lulz?

Yes not the brightest move, just puts them in the cross hairs.

Correct. Or he's the front man.

Regardless, he recently had gotten into a pissing match with universal. Pissing off the Hollywood Jews. MegaUpload owners made something like 42 million off it over the years, one of the dude's had a bunch of luxury cards, and license plate with the word "God" on it.

In short...

1. Do not brag about your millions you are making off theft/illegal activities.
2. Do not be a high profile person guaranteed to get headlines when busted.
3. Do not live in a country where the Federali's are friendly to the U.S..

If you want to be in that business, you had better have a bag packed and actually LIVE in Cyrus or where ever. If you still live in the U.S., U.K., NZ whatever and just have a company set up somewhere thinking you are going to get around it. You will find out you're mistaken.

MU is not huge in adult piracy, so taking them down will not have a significant effect on our sales. When oron and filesonic will come down (hopefully soon), that will change alot indeed. '99 is not coming back, there is no argument over this, but our sales will be much more healthier.

Nonetheless, when police came to his door, DotCom tried to evade arrest, according to authorities. "Despite our staff clearly identifying themselves, Mr Dotcom retreated into the house and activated a number of electronic locking mechanisms," Detective Inspector Grant Wormald said in a report from New Zealand news outlet TVNZ. "While police neutralized these locks he then further barricaded himself into a safe room within the house which officers had to cut their way into."

They said they found Dotcom near a sawed-off shotgun but he was arrested without further incident.

They're with Ecatel now and that hosting is even worse than leaseweb, so it'll take some time to mount enough pressure to force Ecatel to close them down. But eventually that will be done.

True, old school forums like saff.cc still featured alot of old megaupload links up intil recently that went dead overnight yesterday. But still new gen of posters that use auto-posting software is breeding new links at an amazing speed so whatever replacement is necessary will be done in no time. Eventually, it's only when oron and filesonic and rest of the bunch will follow megaupload, we'll get a little bit of relief.

Yep but they had a specific circle of followers that knew where to find relevant links. It didn't hurt as nearly as much as oron/filesonic forums that are known to everyone and their dog.

Well think of it from the other side, these guys have lost a lot of money. Lost links, lost revenue, lost place to upload pirated content to. Yes they are pissed. :thumbsup

Lets see if another one getting whacked will piss them off as much.
