i have told you personally 23 times the fair use economy is worth 1/6 of GDP.

it could be worth that much if everyone was making no money.

So it could be worth 1/6 of GDP if everyone was making no money?

It could be worth 500% of GDP if no one was making any money. :upsidedow :1orglaugh

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.

When SOPA or the equivalent passes they will go mental and some will have to go and work honestly for a living. :thumbsup

Quote:

(3) DOMESTIC DOMAIN NAME- The term `domestic domain name' means a domain name that is registered or assigned by a domain name registrar, domain name registry, or other domain name registration authority, that is located within a judicial district of the United States.

As the argument goes (and it's an argument the U.S. courts have accepted, thus far), since all .COMs are under the auspices of Verisign, by the statutory definition above, all .COM sites, including MegaUpload.com, are "domestic." This has actually been identified as an ironic weakness of SOPA by some of its critics, in fact.

Further, under Section 102 of SOPA, a "foreign infringing site" is a site that "would, by reason of acts described in paragraph (1), be subject to seizure in the United States in an action brought by the Attorney General if such site were a domestic Internet site."

I think it is safe to conclude, based on the fact that MegaUpload.com has now been seized in an action brought by the US Attorney General (actions taken by the US DOJ are actions taken on behalf of the US AG), that MU is therefore NOT a foreign infringing site as that term is defined under SOPA.

They dumped the Kickasstorrent.com domain a while ago, as did a bunch of other torrent sites as well.

Not to take sides but how this site was ever alive I never got.

I mean they have tons of illegal stuff on there, everyone knows it.

I don't think they need SOPA to deal with such obvious file trading.

then why did they take down the non US servers, domains and cash.

if this only happened because it was .com then DOJ seriously over stepped their bounds.

The porn industry could have celebrated if it was Oron or Filesonic taken down...not sure if some here don't realize that Oron is the one that holds a LARGE number of porn videos, from the biggest content all the way down to the small niche/fetish videos. Megaupload was more movies,games, and nulled scripts.

I'm upto page 25 on the indictment and its pretty damning. And its stuff that the majority of us in this industry have know for a while.

Quote:

22. When a file is being uploaded to Megaupload.com, the Conspiracy’s automated system calculates a unique identifier for the file (called a “MD5 hash”) that is generated using a mathematical algorithm. If, after the MD5 hash calculation, the system determines that the uploading file already exists on a server controlled by the Mega Conspiracy, Megaupload.com does not reproduce a second copy of the file on that server. Instead, the system provides a new and unique URL link to the new user that is pointed to the original file already present on the server. If there is more than one URL link to a file, then any attempt by the copyright holder to terminate access to the file using the Abuse Tool or other DMCA takedown request will fail because the additional access links will continue to be available.

23. The infringing copy of the copyrighted work, therefore, remains on the Conspiracy’s systems (and accessible to at least one member of the public) as long as a single 11 link remains unknown to the copyright holder. The Conspiracy’s internal reference database tracks the links that have been generated by the system, but duplicative links to infringing materials are neither disclosed to copyright holders, nor are they automatically deleted when a copyright holder either uses the Abuse Tool or makes a standard DMCA copyright infringement takedown request. During the course of the Conspiracy, the Mega Conspiracy has received many millions of requests (through the Abuse Tool and otherwise) to remove infringing copies of copyrighted works and yet the Conspiracy has, at best, only deleted the particular URL ofw hich the copyright holder complained, and purposefully left the actual infringing copy of the copyrighted work on the Mega Conspiracy-controlled server and any other access links completely intact.

Quote:

54. It was further part of the Conspiracy, from at least September 2005 until July 2011, that the Conspiracy provided financial incentives for users to upload infringing copies of popular copyrighted works. The Conspiracy made payments to uploaders who were known to have uploaded infringing copies of copyrighted works.

55. It was further part of the Conspiracy that members of the Conspiracy generally did not terminate the user accounts of known copyright infringing users, when it had the right and ability under its Terms of Service to do so.

56. It was further part of the Conspiracy that the Conspiracy made no significant effort to identify users who were using the Mega Sites or services to infringe copyrights, to prevent the uploading of infringing copies of copyrighted materials, or to identify infringing copies of copyrighted works located on computer servers controlled by the Conspiracy.

Sorry for the spam, but so far, these are pretty important when it comes to safe harbour under the DMCA Act.

Oh I never said they didn't have a bunch of adult on there, it's just that most of porn video searches include Oron. You didn't see megaupload links nearly as much as Oron for porn.

so if person a put a video that he want to backup on mega upload but doesn't share with anyone (and therefore stays hidden from the copyright holder)

you want his backup to be wiped out because someone else decides to infringe (share)

or are you saying your expecting mega upload to put up 11 copies of the content waste resources and completely eliminate the network effect benefits.

If they did that the same exact consequence would happen (only the reported one would go down)

Yes. Each uploader to upload a file. Their system resources are not our problem.

Full file removal and a proper ban for repeat infringers.

"your expecting mega upload to put up 11 copies of the content" and technically, MU or any other filehost shouldn't be putting anything anywhere.

I suppose its just a coincidence that the file someone is "backing up" happens to have the same md5 hash as a file being shared by a ton of piraters?

Mainstream movies that are pirated by scene or p2p groups have multiple different filenames and filesizes dependant on that group. If a user is backing up a file that has all of the same information as a pirated "backup" then that isn't coincidence is it?

Give it up.
