This is the end.. This is the only thing they need to nail the ass of any site or person they choose.

Who cares if its technically and semantically correct?

Bottom line: Megaupload is FUCKED and the other "file sharing" giants are next.

SOPA will be easily re-written AND accepted. Think a few broke deadbeat "file sharing" hippies will stop the multi billion $$$ content producers from passing this bill? Think again LOL heres a newsflash:

The law is actually on their side and they have billions

Web 2.0 is basically Piracy 2.0 LOL Facebook and Youtube are pissing up wind and they know it.

Wait for the big places to fall (very soon) and see what the market evolves in to LOL. 90% of pirate customers are lazy and stupid, they will not spend time finding the next "file sharing" site because thousands of rouge bullshit phishing hacker tubes will pop up with very limited content. The lazy surfers will basically go back to the payed model. 30-40$ is not much to pay for fresh new content that is 100% bullshit/phish/virus free and legal.

Saying that most file sharing users are lazy and stupid is as LOL as you can get. These fuckers spend hours looking for shit to save $3. A chunk of the uploaders don't care about the money either, "sharing is caring" is their motto and they upload whatever they've stolen just to be nice. You are lost sister.

90% of the planet is lazy and stupid. Take out the big places that the lazy and stupid people know, and the number of popular places is a finite number, for arguments sake lets say 1000 websites? What is left when you take down the top players is: CHAOS

Sure 1000-s of new sites will pop up but to gain a user base it takes: TIME AND MONEY.


You are completely right if status quo remains: Only megaupload gets taken down and nothing else.

BUT

You are dead wrong if they start going after all the big players. Where will you upload your shit? To what site? Who will care? It's like shutting down facebook. An alternative is only commercially viable if you have enough users. What good is a new pirate site with just your "Dexter season 2" crap?

Pirate sites need to reach a "critical mass" of users before they are worth a shit. Reaching critical mass takes time and $$$ and the game is changing. No more immunity for "file sharing" giants. Heads have started to roll and this is just the beginning.

You are not seeing the whole picture. You are just looking at today where users still have alternative pirate "file sharing" sites to turn to...

Sure some deadbeat asshole will be willing to spend hours and hours searching for his free porn, but fuck him LOL the point is the market will never be the same again for pirates and most people will find it easier to just pay the friggin 40$, that in all reality, is not a lot of money, instead of searching for crap for hours and hours and hours....
