| 1255190 | 2012-01-23 22:45:00 | Black March.... yeah, people will get on board :p www.techpowerup.com "Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy. Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine." The idea is to "leave a gaping hole in media entertainment companies' profits for the 1st quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments worldwide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes." And finally, the statement of intent: "We will not tolerate the Media Industries' lobbying for legislation which will censor the internet." |

| 1255197 | 2012-01-24 07:17:00 | That article is a joke. The title: "Anonyupload to replace MegaUpload" and on the web page "keep in mind that it does not target to become a replacement to megaupload.com. " FAIL. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1255198 | 2012-01-24 07:27:00 | Thank you DotCom for the past years of services. We hope you'll be released as soon as possible. Try to not make that amount of money next time, and it should be alright. :lol: |
