This is not going to end well for anyone.

Stoopid yanks. The internet is doomed. Goodbye everyone. :/
If there isn't any intelligence left in the US then we need to get over there again. Invasion on!
Though I say we invade and give the place back to the natives. They won't have such stoopid world desires on dominating the world for money.
Or just cut them off like China and let them have a US intranet so the rest of us are not affected by their stoopidness.

Did I mention I think they is stoopid?

To be fair the way this Kim Dotcom was living (see below) kind of makes me lose a bit of sympathy for him. Piracy is one thing, being a multi-millionaire from it is another...

Kim Dotcom say's there will be a new MegaUpload

Im still very dubious over the legality of what happened with Megaupload. If it was illegal, why was it allowed to happen? It it was legal... WHY THE FUCK WAS IT LEGAL???

Anyway, was he actually acquitted of any crimes? I mustve missed that part of the whole ~~farce~~ proceedings. Seems strange he would be threatening to do the same thing again if nothing has been concluded.

Just goes to prove that you cant fuck with the internet though

I wonder what kind of house the directors of Union Carbide live in, probably just a shack.

That's your benchmark?

Karmic · 28-Aug-2012, 22:07

I'd not really call it a bench mark as such, more a disinclination towards abject stupidity.

Karmic · 28-Aug-2012, 22:09

Do you have an opinion on this at all... something of worth to add perhaps?

Orange · 29-Aug-2012, 04:24

Sure, I'll state what I thought was obvious, it's possible to lose a bit of sympathy for someone without them being a director of a company that managed a plant that killed more than 2,000 people.

I don't know what's going on but I'm rooting for the good guys

?????? Dont know why the double post, sorry.

Minty · 27-Sep-2012, 00:14

And this is why the mindless removal of websites like Megaupload is such a bad idea. You just piss people off.

Kim Dot Com is set to launch a new cyber-locker service, with better encryption and totally independent of any US influence or service.
