“This video is not available in your country” Damn you ACTA! I didn’t know it was because ACTA! Now I do and I’m pissed!

This is great. Truly.
The FBI has shutdown of the world’s largest Internet file-sharing sites, Megaupload.com, and charged its founder and others with violating piracy laws.
The site has claimed it is diligent in responding to complaints about pirated material. MegaUpload is one of the websites of the MPAA’s ’rogue list’.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is arguably the biggest supporter of SOPA/PIPA and has spent millions in lobbying for the bills.
MegaUpload is fighting back in court and have filed a countersuit against Universal Music Group.

So literally hours ago Megaupload.com got busted for its file sharing reputation because they have apparently cost the media industry over 500 million dollars in pirated content. Also, The Pirate Bay announced a few days ago that they aren’t going to be supporting .torrent files any longer, but rather redirect with magnet links. SOPA did not go through yet, but coincidentally, this site gets attacked. SOPA definitely was not the end of the anti-piracy initiative.
