^^^^.
The FBI alleges Megaupload netted more than US$175m in criminal proceeds and cost copyright owners more than US$500m by offering pirated content.
Would love to know how they arrived at that figure, the only stuff I ever downloaded fron the site were bootlegs that are unavailbale in the shops.
Maybe the copyright owners should wake up to the fact that there is a market for this stuff and release it commercially.

The funny thing about this pirating of movies etc is that the ones making all the money out of it are ISP's, and they are the ones who being asked to try a stop it.
If everyone stopped pirating tomorrow and went into movie and music shops and paid ridiculous prices for their stuff, their internet data consumption would be dramatically reduced. The ISP's are loving the pirates, not wanting to stop them.
No matter what happens the pirate geeks are going to find a way around it.

^^^^ coyright holders complaing about pirate copies.
How dumb are these people, they are the same people who sell us cd/dvd writers that allow us to copy, they also sell the blank discs that allow us to copy.
If you know where to look, the geeks are always one step ahead.

They made it up as they always to, it you get a gap, there is a doccie kicking about how they stitched up the guy who was charged with but never fully proven of running the silk road website, the investigators commited illegal acts to get "evidence" the court didnt allow the defence proper due process etc, and the guy is facing a life sentence, maybe he was directly involved but the fact remains, the authorites acted illegally and never allowed proper due process, in other words the case should have been thrown out of court |

Just look at who are the greatest stakeholders thus they have the greatest influence concerning the movie industry and the press in general in America and elsewhere in the world too.
It's that tribe from the Lone Star State. I am not talking about the original indigenous population of the great Indian Nations or Texas either.

He was a resident on Koh Chang for a while. Kim Dotcom is being stitched up by the looks of it |

Kim Dotcom is being stitched up by the looks of it If memory serves the doccie was called "deepweb" it was a good watch, was the guy they have in nick right now involved with The Silk Road somehow ? most likey... DId the prosecution prove this conclusively ? Not by a long shot and they also committed illegal acts to get "evidence" and the guy concerned will be banged up for life on cicumstational evidence at best |

Search warrent illegal. Servers seized. Ilegal search would mean that the evidence inadmissible if he was a US citizen however for farang anything goes. |

Why the founder of Silk Road got life in prison without parole"Business Insider" May 31, 2015 ......................"On Friday, a judge sentenced the founder of the world's largest online drug marketplace to life in prison without parole, ruling that his website was not harm-reducing but "terribly destructive to our social fabric"............................... www.businessinsider.com/why-the-founder-of-silk-road-got-life-in-prison-2015-5BI Editor-in-Chief Henry Blodget said the sentence was absurd. I agree, considering what some killers are being sentenced to. But I also find it absurd that someone would ever think they were going to create a site like that and get away with it. Sooner or later the feds are going to bust someone for it and put them away. I wonder if the site is still running ? I know I won't be Googling it too much and doing any research on it. But I did find this YouTube link to Deepweb doco-

It is rumoured Silk Road 2 is operational, if you want to research this you will need Tor and Orfox, as your search engine google, Bing will throw up nothing |

Don't really want to dabble in Tor etc, Watched half of it so far, very obvious the guy was stitched up, especially the way the Feds would not say how they found the server so he could not determine whether his rights had been violated. |
