| 1255064 | 2012-01-19 21:50:00 | "An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than US$500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content." Bullshit. Piracy does not equal lost revenue, if the pirate had no intention to pay for the content anyway (which is often the case) They also would not have factored in ANY of the potential sales caused by "try before you buy" cases and extra future sales caused by people discovering new things. |

| 1255065 | 2012-01-19 21:53:00 | Damn, it was quite a useful site too. One of the better filehosts in terms of waiting time between files and speed for free users. |

| 1255066 | 2012-01-19 21:54:00 | But, Agent_24, you don't have the right to try before you buy do you? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1255067 | 2012-01-19 21:59:00 | But, Agent_24, you don't have the right to try before you buy do you? Regardless to the legality, the point is that without taking it (and other things) into account, their apparent loss of revenue is quite inaccurate. |
