    when did mega upload get convicted of copyright infringement

    The repeated statement when people talk about all the innocent people used mega upload back up their content( without sharing)

    is that they deserve to get fucked over because they used a pirate hosting company.

    So when exactly did mega upload get convicted.

    In america your innocent until proven guilty.

                  You store anything with a criminal operation, you should have a back up. In most cases I suspect millions have back ups of the data stored on MU.

                  IMHO if you are that stupid you deserve to lose whatever you loaded there and it's probably best they cut your balls off so you can't contaminate the gene pool. Maybe even banned from the internet.
                  tons of people have been making that argument repeatedly

                  those two are from a single thread

                                                      In point of fact, grand juries DO have witnesses and it was a court order, based on the evidence, that seized the evidence (servers) which were located within the court's jurisdiction.

                                                      Based on the grand jury's decision that there was probable cause (the jury deciding they are probably guilty), the evidence and suspects were held for trial.

                                                              Yeah, it is control. It's law enforcement. Obey the laws and you're good, just like anywhere else.

Knowing the feds have been using government spyware to watch your communication... one good slip and you are FUCKED. There is no telling who they have been watching (if anyone) or who is about to have the rug pulled from under them. Maybe no one, maybe someone huge.

A hosted gallery is so-named because it is hosted by the sponsor, in this case ND. As such, they retain complete control so when they delete the content it is inaccessible to anyone linking to it, which is what they did. Those that ripped the content and uploaded it to their own servers would of course be subject to legal reprisals.

                                                                                                                      if not why the double standard.

                                                                                                                          should lose their stuff because the government took away a service which under the law is still legal.

                                                                                                                          The supreme court in Sweden refused to hear the appeal of the pirate bay even though the police admitted they didn't turn off dht when they were connecting to the swarm.

                                                                                                                          Any tech with half a brain knows that means that police were more likely to be getting the content WITHOUT any involvement from the pirate bay tracker.

                                                                                                                          In effect they got convicted of facilitating copyright infringement for a transaction they were more likely (less then 10%) to NOT be involved in at all.

                                                                                                                          Imagine if the principle of proper police investigation allowed shoddy evidence to be used in any case, because "trust us if we had done our job properly, then the accused would have been involved" becomes the standard.

A hosted gallery is so-named because it is hosted by the sponsor, in this case ND. As such, they retain complete control so when they delete the content it is inaccessible to anyone linking to it, which is what they did. Those that ripped the content and uploaded it to their own servers would of course be subject to legal reprisals.

                                                                                                                                  All of that is moot, however, since the big difference here is that ND took immediate action to remove the content where MU did nothing of the sort.
                                                                                                                                  kiddie porn is always illegal

                                                                                                                                  leaving the links they were not sure were infringing (those that were never found because the people only used them for backup purposes).

                                                                                                                                      they pointed uploads to the same physical file, and issued unique urls to the uploaders

                                                                                                                                      they simply removed the links to the file that were dmcaed leaving the file alone

                                                                                                                                      that couldn't happen if the file was removed.

Oh Fuck I steal Cable also.... Shit I'm Fucked. Are they back tracing me...

                                                                                                                                                  That why the principle of innocent UNTIL proven guilty is in place

                                                                                                                                                  because a grand jury will convict a ham sandwich
                                                                                                                                                  Juries, petit and grand, make mistakes. Grand juries are charged with deciding whether or not there is "probable cause to believe" the accused commited the crime. "probable cause to believe" is the standard, in other words if they are probably guilty. Yes, based on a one sided presentation, which makes sense if the arrest / raid needs to catch the accused off guard, but perhaps not otherwise.

                                                                                                                                                  I replied to the post asking "what court, what witnesses", pointing out there there were in fact hearings and witnesses. That's not to say that the system is perfect, of course, but the poster seemed to think there was no hearing at all before the seizure.

                                                                                                                                                  I'm curious, when you get called for jury duty, will you indict or convict a ham sandwich? There has been a major change since Judge Wachtler's ham sandwich comment - grand juries are now called up from the full citizenry, just like petit juries. Again, that doesn't make them prefect, but it is due process of law.

                                                                                                                                                          is that they deserve to get fucked over because they used a pirate hosting company.

                                                                                                                                                          So when exactly did mega upload get convicted.

                                                                                                                                                          In america your innocent until proven guilty.

Oh wait they just notified to remove their stuff. So they only loose if they are totally without a clue right? They also had to load up their stuff and then delete it from where it was.

                                                                                                                                                          The fact that they are guilty of the charges and any moron can see it means that a reasonable person would be looking to secure their documents. It is unreasonable to assume that they should wait for a conviction to make some other arrangements.

                                                                                                                                                              Yeah, it is control. It's law enforcement. Obey the laws and you're good, just like anywhere else.

                                                                                                                                                              If Kim Dotcom didn't have servers in the US, never visited the US and didn't live in a country that has an extradition agreement with the US, this story wouldn't be happening.

Grand juries are charged with deciding whether or not there is "probable cause to believe" the accused commited the crime. "probable cause to believe" is the standard, in other words if they are probably guilty. Yes, based on a one sided presentation, which makes sense if the arrest / raid needs to catch the accused off guard, but perhaps not otherwise.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I replied to the post asking "what court, what witnesses", pointing out there there were in fact hearings and witnesses. That's not to say that the system is perfect, of course, but the poster seemed to think there was no hearing at all before the seizure.

                                                                                                                                                                                              I'm curious, when you get called for jury duty, will you indict or convict a ham sandwich? There has been a major change since Judge Wachtler's ham sandwich comment - grand juries are now called up from the full citizenry, just like petit juries. Again, that doesn't make them prefect, but it is due process of law.
                                                                                                                                                                                              BUT that process of law says that right now they are still INNOCENT.
