He is just a an running a site for people to share files. Nothing illegal except the people doing the actions.

and yes, I bet the feds are riding his cars to their homes today  Cheesy

Could you not argue that Silk Road was doing nothing illegal too?
What is Silk Road? I only know about Tor and Those other underground drug sites.

Never heard of this guy, but remembers Megaload. I have no idea has was arrested this way. There is something wrong about arresting a techguy with a SWAT team? and roadblocks to take a car from a granny?

So, I read up about this whole thing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload

It seems the case hinges on the fact that "they know there is copyright infringing material on their servers and they didn't do anything about it". There are copyright infringing material on Youtube all the time!? and these material get emailed around too, are they going to hit Microsoft/Yahoo/Gmail with a SWAT team?

You've answered your own question.

Don't forget about who owns Youtube microsoft Yahoo Gmail, and who they make large-huge-  political donations to.

And who they've agreed to share our data with.

Yeah, but Youtube is massive business owned by a corporation. Mega was owned by Kim Dotcom and Hollywood had a bee in their bonnet and went out of their way to set an example. I hope they fail miserably and have to pay Kim millions.

Did anyone watch the segment on 60 Minutes about Kim Dotcom?  Hubby thought I should watch it because I did not know that much about him.  It is pretty messed up how they went after him for just providing a service for uploading things.  I never used Megaupload but it seemed like it was a successful web site that provided an important service for people to put up various personal videos. Sure, people may decide to use it for things that it was not intended to be used for but Kim Dotcom was not the one uploading copyrighted things.  Why don't they go after Youtube too then?  They have the same kind of service.   60 Minutes did not even defend Kim either.  I found it highly disturbing that the USA thinks they are doing a "service" to the world by going after Kim too.  Pretty depressing.
