Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig. He peddles in illegal stolen wares. He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations. Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law. Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.

Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses? Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?

Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.

Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag. I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.

That kind of propaganda doesn't work any more.

Nobody believes it (if they ever did), and it does the opposite of "winning hearts and minds".

The next generation of developers is going to grow up seeing legal denouncement of their projects as professional validation, and having their software banned a rite of passage.

You are referring to copyright infringement which isn't the same thing as theft. Ideas and concepts cannot be stolen, and you fail to understand the principles of common carrier laws within common law or the philosophical and ethical nuances of IP. Whether or not copyright infringement should be respected and under what terms is a valid argument argument to be discussed, yet you are clearly ill prepared to even broach the subject matter.

Do some research and educate yourself before spouting off like a brainwashed puppet.

It is only because it is difficult to prosecute that you and others somehow think it is 'OK'.

its difficult to prosecute because it isn't theft, no court in the land would classify watching streaming video in such a way

So ,
Seems like Paypal and MasterCard has stopped doing business with MEGA (File uploading & sharing provider)

Kim Dotcom tweeted : "I like to thank @Paypal for backing #Mega for such a long time. The pressure from Hollywood and the US Government was simply too much."
So he decided to switch from those payment methods to Bitcoin and give a boost .

I personally think that it's a great oppurtunity for Bitcoin , what do you guys think ? Grin

Awesome news! so now we know , why it's going up since last night

I don't think we need his endorsement. He is a criminal but he seems to be behaving better these days.

People will start to associate bitcoin with underground activities

That's the whole point of bitcoin. It's cash for the internet and ANYONE can use it for ANYTHING just like cash. If I want to sell something legal I can. If I want to sell something illegal I can. If I want to sell a jar of fairy farts I can. All you need is a buyer and seller and that's it. No middle man, no mediator to say what is ok and what is not.

It's a good storage method for online storage, I don't see why people are freaking out.

Sure it is!

Let's face it: it is a movie distribution system where Kim keeps that money you pay and the creators of the movies get nothing.

I mean there are plenty like me who have only used it for encrypted file uploading and no illegal means but I don't know I don't watch a movies so maybe I am the minority.

Let lawyers at courts work out what is legal and what is not, but in meantime blocking payments is pretty stupid. Luckily Bitcoin is open to everyone, unlike all other centralized paying systems.

Are you sure that he don't care about Copyrights and stuff ? Maybe in Megaupload but on MEGA he does and do care about privacy also that's why it's fully encrypted and NSA can't spy .
For Copyrights violation .. last time someone uploaded "The Interview" the movie of sony leaked to MEGA . few hours ago it got deleted how do you explain that . (Yes deleted by MEGA)

Doesn't sound right to me...People will start to associate bitcoin with underground activities or that's the way how I look at it. So does that in any way connected to which can explain the recent bitcoin price going up?

People (mostly average joes) already associate Bitcoin with underground and or illegal activities.

I think there is a certain need for the service that Kim offers.

I would want to see him get his service to a point that everything is decentralized.

Well thats for only Megaupload. But they have a lot of future plans. His previous tweets were about a blockchain based internet and couple of other things.
Check his tweets from the past.

Amazing. Wherever Kim is supporting, that means lots of money. This guy is a great entrepreneur, even tho I don't like his idea of a decentralized internet when maid can do it better.
