Reading about this Megabox (www.stuff.co.nz) makes me wonder about the timing of the raid on Megaupload.

1256123 2012-01-27 08:15:00 Hmm, true that. But then these raids take ages of planning. It's probably been in the motions for 3 years now.

Still, the business plan is public, the company has been effectively seized by govts, time to steal that idea?

1256125 2012-01-30 02:03:00 I'd suggest that holds quite a lot of weight, coming from him and InternetNZ. It's not the sort of thing they'd just hand out willy nilly... Chilling_Silence (9)

Guess that's what happens when you try to shut out the RIAA and get artist so go directly to the buyer.. They scream to the Gov and get the site closed..

1256129 2012-01-30 04:38:00 NZ media would be an awesome target for media types considering the absolutely horrendous reporting style. I think to be a reporter in NZ you have to be a scavenger, lonely, pathetic ****, then you win an award for it. rob_on_guitar (4196)
1256130 2012-01-30 06:09:00 It is about time that Hollywood and the record labels got with the times and stopped being dinosaurs, there is more money to be made from online movie and music downloads now than there ever will be again from CD or DVD sales, and the fact someone was going to do it apparently got them all panicking and running around like headless chooks so they use their power to get him taken down and still don't offer a viable alternative.

I have pretty much given up buying music and just listen to the radio because i'm so fed up with the record companies not offering a decent alternative and No iTunes is not an alternative it's premium money for a crap product and I don't mean the music itself but the MP3 format it's delivered in.
