McLEAN, Va. ? Federal prosecutors in Virginia say they have shut down one of the world?s largest Internet file-sharing sites, Megaupload.com, and charged its founder and others with violating piracy laws
.
An indictment accuses the company of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed Thursday, one day after Web sites shut down in protest of two Congressional proposals intended to thwart the online piracy of copyrighted movies and TV programs.

Megaupload.com has claimed it is diligent in responding to complaints about pirated material.

The indictment says that at one point, Megaupload was the 13th most popular Web site in the world.

No SOPA comment needed lol it was only a matter of time before they got shut down.

Uh so yeah our first meeting recording is no longer accesible :p Our second still is.

‘Anonymous’ allegedly crashes Justice.gov after FBI shuts down MegaUpload | The Raw Story

This shouldn't be a surprise, Obama has ICE(Immigration Customs Enforcement) shutting down websites (ATDHE.net for one), you know because the border is secured and the internet is so clearly in the wheelhouse of Border Patrol.

It was only a matter of time.
