Megaupload shut down by the US government

Megaupload shut down by the US government

This will be my last post on SOPA and copyright laws for a while.  However, the US government has shutdown Megaupload.com without SOPA.  They already have the power to shutdown sites that already have copyright infringing content. 

And, they arrested the owners of the site through New Zealand.  You don’t need to add more power to government because they can shutdown stuff in other countries.  I can go into the reasons why there are problems with this issue pre-SOPA, but I won’t.  

 However, people need to use this as way of proving you don’t need new laws to stop copyright infringement.  The messy part is the profits that Mega received that don’t make this a black and white issue. 

It is a real shame the US government doesn’t move this swiftly against drug dealers or terrorists.
