If you haven't heard yet, AP is reporting that the feds have shut down Megaupload and arrested its founder and several employees with violating online privacy laws.

FUCK! Shame on NZ for cooperating. It sucks that they, like Australia, are embracing internet censorship.

Oh, wonderful, so much for Sherlock S2. Ah well. Thanks for the head's up!

Aaaagh. Especially since I had some stuff of my own up there, including something I was working on from my old job, and hadn't yet remembered to dl it onto my new computer. Feh.

I feel like I should have expected it, somehow. I forget if I mentioned to you that talk that happened in my neck of the woods, by the Chief Operating Officer of Paramount. He spent a lot of time complaining about Megaupload, including a bunch of frothing about how much money the owner of MU made and how fancy his lifestyle is (something about him owning two floors of a high rise in Hong Kong? Who knows, I was tuning out at that point). The amount of detail the guy went into should perhaps have made me think, "corporation-supported task force." But alas it did not.

I had so much on my mu account, old PW stuff, queen of swords, and of course, I lost the money from my two year subscription. If the Feds come after me, hopefully the people I uploaded shows for will contribute to my legal defence fund.
