Looks like Filesonic, Fileserve, Wuploaded, Filejungle, Uploaded . to and possibly Hotfile have **** themselves and started blocking access to US based IPs, nuking US based accounts and ended any rewards program similar to MegaUploads . Maybe a return from RapidShare is likely?

<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back ****er"

1255186 2012-01-23 11:45:00 That New Zealand Police are involved in a "crime" that is alleged from the United States is a disgrace.

So we are going to have the United States movie or music industry determine who can be arrested and hauled over to the States to stand trial.
Not only that but it shows they did it without the shelved SOPA bill so what would they be able to do if they ever get it.

1255187 2012-01-23 12:12:00 That is the biggest load of gibberish that I have ever read. What you describe so ineloquently, is the definition of piracy in itself. It is highly unlikely that any pirate would ever go back later and pay, that's a fantasy lifted straight from cloud-cuckoo land.
Sorry Billy but you are completely wrong there and you are being completely one eyed about this issue. I know of a guy with an extremely large collection of music (I don't know how he can even listen to it all) and when he finds something that he likes he always goes out and buys the CD because of the better quality and he doesn't think CD's are the best quality.
If the stupid music industry stopped putting out so much crap and made a jump into the 21 century and priced it appropiately with the right quality they would find they had a good business model.

1255188 2012-01-23 12:18:00 They didn't keep monitor every signle file that was uploaded to their servers.

And what about probably every single online backup provider?? I'm sure there are lots of people that are backing up their illegally downloaded music/videos onto the online backup providers servers. Should they get taken down as well?
and what about the ISP's that let this pass through their system.

Yep.
Many people in the warez community will be very happy to see the likes of the above gone from the scene. MU wasn't a problem because of it atrocious upload speeds.
