Here's the important part: "But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being
shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws."

The MPAA, which only produces crap these days, estimates and the Feds jump. The MPAA has no evidence. All they have is an estimate, a claim, yet that is enough to shut down the site. That's exactly what the whistleblowers were pointing at. No due process or evidence required. One party complains and that's it.

Anon shut down the feds... Meanwhile a bear ******* on some leaves.

That's what's called cyber terrorism. Anonymous is stifling exactly what they are saying they stand up for, freedom of expression. Why should websites that are against what the anonymous organization stands for be blasted off the internet? In that right shouldn't the groups who were taken down by anonymous be able to strike back at anonymous?

And for those who say it isn't terrorism, it becomes terrorism when you target the government, disrupt business (paypal), and prevent honest people from carrying on with their lives.

My opinion is: It isn't terrorism, terrorism is an overused word invented by the Bush administration. Terrorists are stinky arabs who **** in caves and bomb people

P.S FBI.gov = down

Shane is right. What Anonymous is doing is completely against what they stand for. They believe in non-democratic practices, yet preach liberation. Obviously democracy has prevailed in SOPA since now president Obama and more than half of congress are against SOPA, meaning it has 0% chance of passing.

I read it, I know what I said... And I knew 99% of what you said.. I said what I said on purpose, it wasn't an accident

Firering, the point is piracy shouldn't be taking place at all. What's the use of copyright laws and protections if they aren't enforced? Regardless how you may feel about record companies, the MPAA, or any other similar business, they own the material and the right to distribute it. If a website can't keep control of what is put out on the internet, it's only fair the Feds step up and protect the rights of copyrights holders. Also, usually how the government works is that they shut down a site, investigate, and then reopen the site or leave it closed depending on what they find. The MPAA doesn't have the power to shut down a website distributing its content, but the government does. Any claim made by the MPAA or whoever has to be taken seriously and investigated regardless of evidence or proof. Chances are MegaUpload is used for piracy and is rightly being shut down by the Feds.
