God mainstream media is awful. yes |

| 1365584 | 2014-01-20 11:20:00 | Yeah link here: www.3news.co.nz Dunno what they were expecting to find? You can say the same about any file-hosting website... Hell you can even "search" for things using Google. Does that mean that Google should be shut-down? |

They are just playing with words. Just did an experiment: , picked a random movie name that came to mind, and did a google search movies name download mega.co.nz Took less than a minute to find the links that lead directly to Mega.co.nz :groan: |

But, if/WHEN we start using Google Drive & MS file storage for piracy more often, should they be labled as a host for piracy & shut down. Why not ? Same rule for all ? Should we shut down all forums & forum software, as forums are used by many as a way to find/share pirates media. Plenty of forums out there JUST for piracy Then shut down ALL ISP's..... they know exactly why home users want 50G+ data caps. |

| 1365590 | 2014-01-20 21:31:00 | Yeah exactly, the whole _point_ of that google-search for a mega download link for a movie is pointless coz it works with _anything_ and any provider! He's openly admitted he believes half of all internet traffic would be piracy, and he's fully aware people are using his service to do that, but just because there are some illegitimate users doesn't mean there aren't also legitimate users. Lets shut down the post shop so that criminals can't mail each other drugs and while we're at it lets shut down the roads so they can't drive illegal weapons to each other... Think about it logically for a second guys, come on :-/ |
