This sucks alright.

I'd be slightly worried if one was a regular uploader (making money off it) or have a premium account with them. last thing you want is the FBI going through its files and your name and credit card pop up.

Megaupload used to get 50 million hits a day. It has 180 million registered users.

You know the sad thing about all this, what kind of power do they have, to arrest people in New Zealand ? Shame on them for bending over.

Facebook, Wiki, Google etc must have seen this coming with the black day yesterday.

They arrested the ****ing graphics designer!!

In 2001, Schmitz purchased $375,000 worth of shares of the nearly bankrupt company LetsBuyIt.com and subsequently announced his intention to invest EUR 50 million in the company.[13] Unknown to others, Schmitz did not have the funds available for purchase, although the announcement caused the share value of LetsBuyIt.com to jump by nearly 300%.[14] Schmitz quickly sold the shares and profited $1.5 million as a result.[13]

A subscription to a VPN service is all you need! use RS/MU/FS and many more using their free service, switch ip address when you have used up all your free bandwidth. 100% anonymous too

VPN providers are working with the Feds all the time.

It's no where near 100% anonymous, if they want you, they will find you.

EDIT: RIAA down? UMG down? Were Anonymous that quick off the mark?

Anonymous have taken the websites of The Department of Justice, The RIAA, Universal Music (UMG) and the MPAA offline in retaliation.
