Default Re: Megaupload’s Kim Dotcom Refuses to Give Up Passwords

Just read this a bit earlier.

The whole thing stinks from the word go. Pushed to rapidly do something about it from the copywrong industry, none of it appears to have paid attention to the law in the process. Yet the end result has been to wipe out a business that wasn't liked. Just because you don't approve or like a business is no sign it is illegal nor is it a sign of it's doing something wrong.

I think the real issue wasn't Megaupload but the combo of it was fixing to turn public with an IPO and that it was fixing to threaten the bread and butter of the music industry by taking away it's profits by offering the artists a better deal than they could get under contract from the majors.

Almost all of these cyberhosts have been ruled legal if they go to court. The copywrong industry is seeking another way to control the threat of Piracy. A threat that has never been proven to be a threat. But the old guard of the copywrong groups can not get beyond the word pirate to deal with any means to set up a paying and profitable site.

It's been the whole the banana that they can't compete with free. Yet everything I have read has said you can if you make the effort. The trick here is that you have to offer it at a reasonable price in the form the public wants, how it wants it, the way it wants it, and make it worth the purchase. Do that and they will beat the door down, ignoring file sharing to get it. There are tons of examples of this. It's just too much effort for the gatekeepers and you wind up with actions like what has been done to Kim Dotcom.

Megaupload as a business is destroyed, without ever having a day in court. It will never have the chance to prove it was legal. A million dollar company is gone along with the jobs it supplied. Worse, against all rules of law setup by both countries, the laws were circumvented to do things that were strictly against the law. I honestly expect it was purposely done; not an accident. Again you have demonstration of just how moral the copywrong groups are when it comes down to money.
