Title: Megaupload, Mega network shut down by FBI

And the day after the SOPA strike. The U.S. Department of Commerce still thinks we don't have the "appropriate tools" to take down pirates, and they seize an entire file-sharing network, again. LimeWire, anyone? :-\

That is actually reasonable you know, being against "piracy and stuff". Imagine you were a successful musician and you find out all your shit is being illegally sent out / torrented / whatever for free, i.e. not giving you any profit. Not many would be happy to see that. That's why SOPA stepped in. However, even they know that they'll never stop piracy. It's too big of a hole to cement just like that. :)

So basically, the world is pretty much going trough a crysis, and they expect people to buy fucking video games and songs, instead of actually buying something that's gonna do them some normal good. If they really wanna slow this issue down, they should lower the prices of new videogames. Is it normal that a GAME with no EDUCATIONAL value, that you can't eat or drink or drive costs 100 US dollars. Not imo...

Who ever said something about ''educational games'' , I said, that spending the video game money, might be better spent for food and charity.
