Indictment Charges Megaupload Site With Piracy

McLEAN, Va. — Federal prosecutors in Virginia say they have shut down one of the world’s largest Internet file-sharing sites, Megaupload.com, and charged its founder and others with violating piracy laws.
An indictment accuses the company of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed Thursday, one day after Web sites shut down in protest of two Congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs.
Megaupload.com has claimed it is diligent in responding to complaints about pirated material.
The indictment says that at one point, Megaupload was the 13th most popular Web site in the world.

Rapidshare and Mediafire are next.

ShadowCaster · 01-19-2012, 03:50 PM

Personally I didn't like Mega network, with bandwidth and storage space getting cheaper by day their viewing/downloading limits were just ridiculous, but closing down the websites instead of just making the owner to remove copyrighted content is not right.

MSTeacher · 01-19-2012, 03:50 PM

and filesonic, hotfile, putlocker, uploading, etc. etc.

Hav3n · 01-19-2012, 04:05 PM

Going to be interesting to see if they can get anything to stick on these guys.

After all... if they comply with DMCA requests ... how were they breaking the law?

stevejones003 · 01-19-2012, 04:37 PM

Was it symbolic?Why ll they choose this date?

capone2009 · 01-19-2012, 04:43 PM

Megaupload and Rapidshare are from the same owner I think

They didn't just close down the sites, but also are arresting the top employees, who are non-US citizens working for a company that is based in Hong Kong.

It seems like a big FUCK YOU to the world too with it being a Hong Kong Company and everyone arrested a foreigner living outside the United States.

Quote:

The indictment alleges that the criminal enterprise is led by Kim Dotcom, aka Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor, 37, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand. Dotcom founded Megaupload Limited and is the director and sole shareholder of Vestor Limited, which has been used to hold his ownership interests in the Mega-affiliated sites.
In addition, the following alleged members of the Mega conspiracy were charged in the indictment:

Finn Batato, 38, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the chief marketing officer;

Julius Bencko, 35, a citizen and resident of Slovakia, who is the graphic designer;

Sven Echternach, 39, a citizen and resident of Germany, who is the head of business development;

Mathias Ortmann, 40, a citizen of Germany and resident of both Germany and Hong Kong, who is the chief technical officer, co-founder and director;

Andrus Nomm, 32, a citizen of Estonia and resident of both Turkey and Estonia, who is a software programmer and head of the development software division;

Bram van der Kolk, aka Bramos, 29, a Dutch citizen and resident of both the Netherlands and New Zealand, who oversees programming and the underlying network structure for the Mega conspiracy websites.

Dotcom, Batato, Ortmann and van der Kolk were arrested today in Auckland, New Zealand, by New Zealand authorities, who executed provisional arrest warrants requested by the United States. Bencko, Echternach and Nomm remain at large.

Anonymous Goes on Megaupload Revenge Spree: DoJ, RIAA, MPAA, and Universal Music All Offline

Anonymous Goes on Megaupload Revenge Spree: DoJ, RIAA, MPAA, and Universal Music All Offline
Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today's federal bust of Megaupload riled 'em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov has left it completely dead.

DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com is reporting the department's site as universally nuked, and an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account is boasting success. This is almost certainly the result of a quickly-assembled DDoS attack—and easily the widest in scope we've seen in some time. If you had any doubts Anonymous is still a hacker wrecking ball, doubt no more.

Update: Anonymous says they've also knocked off the RIAA's site—looks down for us at the moment as well.

Update 2: Universal Music Group has also fallen off an e-cliff.

Update 3: Goodbye for now, MPAA.org.

kingofsp · 01-19-2012, 05:36 PM

I love how whenever big sites get DDoS'd it gets a bunch of attention that causes people who would have never visited those sites for any other reason to try to access them to verify that they are down, making the problem even worse.

SOPA: Anonymous Lists Their Demands | WebProNews

Quote:

Bright, and Clear: The Future of Free Speech
===============================================
A rallying cry on the occassion of the Web's first mass blackout

As we watch the web go dark today in protest against the SOPA/PIPA censorship bills, let's take a moment and reflect on why this fight is so important. We may have learned that free speech is what makes America great, or instinctively resist attempts at silencing our voices. But these are abstract principles, divorced from the real world and our daily lives.

Free speech is the foundation of a free society. We can have the vote all we want. We can donate money wherever we want. But unless we're able to talk to each other and figure out collectively _what_ we want, those things don't matter.

We believe a healthy society doesn't allow its artists, musicians and other creators to starve. The copyright industry has been justly criticized for abusing the political process in a desperate attempt to maintain its role as a cultural gatekeeper, a business model made obsolete by a digital age of free copies. But the RIAA, MPAA & IFPI deserve our opprobrium for making enormous profits while often leaving the very artists it claims to represent *poorer* than they would be as independents.[1] While the public may have greater access to the few artists deemed sufficiently marketable to gain mass media promotion, fewer and fewer of us are making art and music in our own lives.

It's time we make a stand for a better world - not merely take rearguard actions to preserve a status quo that is _already_ failing us. Accordingly, we present the following list of demands:

* We call on national legislatures to not only reject ACTA efforts to globalize the American intellectual property regime, but to abolish the WIPO.

* We demand the elimination of the DMCA's registration requirement for qualification under the "safe harbor" provision. It's absurd that a website owner needs to mail in a form and pay a $100+ fee to the government to register a contact for copyright violations. A web page at a standard location (a la robots.txt) should suffice.

* We expect courts to apply penalties just as severe to rightsholders who issue abusive takedown notices as those applied to copyright violators.

* No more Jammie Thomases. Any penalties for copyright infringement must be sane and reasonable and not based unsubstantiated, outlandish claims of harm.

* The Department of Justice must begin an anti-trust investigation into the copyright industry, with a specific focus on collusion between rightsholders and ISPs in monitoring Internet users, and payola and cross ownership with mass media.

* We demand an end to sales of radio frequencies into private hands. We hold that spectrum is a form of speech - it rightly belongs to the people and is not the government's to auction off to begin with.

* We demand that ISPs stop interfering with file sharing via BitTorrent or any other protocol.

* We recognize a right of total ownership, not merely licensing, of products we have purchased and a right to tinker and modify them as we see fit. The Library of Congress should not be determining the acceptable boundaries of technology.

* We reject the principle of contributory infringement entirely. While there may be bad uses, there is no bad code.

* We expect legislators and judges to make efforts to educate themselves about the technologies they oversee, and to call on and respect the opinions of technical experts when necessary. The Internet makes nerds of us all.

* All research receiving any public funding, directly or indirectly, must be placed in the public domain upon publication.

* For the sake of innovation and competitiveness, the US Patent & Trade Office must immediately cease issuing software and business method patents, and declare all such existing patents null and void. We unequivocally reject any patents on mathematical formulas and genes or other naturally-occurring substances (human or otherwise).

* Copyright and patent terms must be reduced to reasonable lengths (two and five years from the time of creation, respectively). Works should only be eligible for the length of protection in the effect when created - the continuing extension of terms to protect Disney's ownership of Mickey Mouse must cease.

* We recognize a broad right of "fair use" as essential to a vibrant and creative culture. We will remix, sample, mash up, translate, perform, parody and otherwise create derivative works as we see fit.

* Courts must accord bloggers the same rights as mainstream reporters. The right to a free press originally meant a literal, physical printing press - not membership in some government sanctioned elite. Blogs are the modern day digital equivalent.

We call upon all freedom loving Internauts to join us. We further call upon our legislators, bureaucrats and the media & telecommunications industries to immediately begin implementing our demands. The future of free speech is bright, and clear - either stand with us or get out of the way.

The state's process:

Step 1: Ask lawyers to check for violations committed by the mark.

Step 2: If no clear violations can be found, ask lawyers whether they can stretch existing laws to encompass the mark's actions. *

Step 3: Take the mark!

* The answer is always "yes."

Heck, you can torture people using this process. You can even assassinate U.S. citizens while avoiding the inconvenience of a trial. Indicting the owners of websites? Child's play.

To be fair, the layout was pretty horrible...

So what have they actually been charged with? As others have mentioned, if they complied with DMCA notices and got taken down then wtf? I thought this shit wasn't going to happen unless PIPA/SOPA broke through

Nice retaliation. But I fear this ONLY helps congress make a step towards SOPA, even though groups like Anonymous won't be held back by censorship.
