megaupload's entire business model was around enabling the sharing of copyrighted content, instead of it being a consequence of providing a sharing service

they indexed everything to facilitate finding illegal content easily

they purposefully dragged their feet on any requests to remove known copyrighted material hosted on their site, because thats how they made money

ive met kim dot com (nz is a small place, he is big)

kim is a weirdo who shouldnt be trusted. he was sure to lose after judge david harvey was ejected from the case after saying that a copyright problem was us, specifically the letters U. S.

so his extensive international criminal record or the fact that he lives in a drug dealer mansion paid for by running a pirate content site wasn't enough to sway your judgment of his character

didn't they also "remove" copyrighted works that had takedown notices by removing the resolution for whatever link was given in the request while keeping the content and having it still be searchable

what is a real study?

one that actually reaches a conclusion rather than "well, we didn't actually study the effects, we're just drawing a conclusion because we kind of have to to justify our funding, so eh go for it"

every study you see starts with "we know fluoride helps when used in a controlled lab environment" and then segues into "however we can't actually prove a benefit in a significant enough population, so we'll just draw the conclusion that it certainly doesn't hurt" and then it's used to justify dumping industrial waste in drinking water supplies

iirc this isn't really true

there was no publicly available indexing. i do vaguely remember there may have been a public search function early in the site's existence (or maybe that was another locker i forget) but for the last few years before it was shut down i remember having to rely on google searches for :filez: which was still stupidly easy (and the results would be via 3rd party forums where uploaders shared their links, there was no evidence of googlebot being given extra access lol)

obviously they did index it internally though and yeah the skype logs show that got abused a lot as kim and his lieutenants looked up various files and shared links with like an insider group of top uploaders or whatever, literally encouraging piracy

Hey, Fat rear end. Fat rear end! Talk to me boy! I know you're there I can hear you breathin'. Don't you listen to these nitwits you hear me? This place ain't so bad. Tell you what, I'll introduce you around, make you feel right at home. I know a couple of big old bull queers that'd just love to make you're acquaintance. Especially that big, white, mushy butt of yours.

i cannot fathom me, a lower-middle-class weakling nobody, having modest taste and making the occasional 3 figgie splurge, going to federal pound me in the rear end prison. i extremely cannot fathom going that path, coming from the excess kim built around himself

imagine the first three days of that ordeal
