Hey guys, tought i might just share this with you.
Megaupload was shutdown (not thanks to SOPA, because it doesnt exit, but it sure got to do with it.)
Sources:
"The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, formerly known as Kim Schmitz, and three others were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Two other defendants are at large.
Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others."
It's also worth noting that the CEO of Megaupload is hip-hop producer Swizz Beats.
INFO ABOUT SWIZZ BEATS
"Kasseem Dean (born September 13, 1978),[SUP][1][/SUP] better known by his stage name, Swizz Beatz, is an American record producer, DJ, rapper and painter. At the age of 17, he gained attention in the hip-hop world through his friendship with rapper DMX. Grady Spivey and rapper Cassidy helped launch his label Full Surface Records. He is married to Contemporary R&B superstar Alicia Keys and has one child with her, as well as three other children. He is the Chief Executive Officer of Megaupload.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP]"

----------
This is a SAD day for internet users in generall, megaupload was once nearly the 13th most viewed website, now it's gone and the ones responsible will be looking forward to jail the most years to come
----------
How will OTlands/OTfans be affected when it comes to SOPA law if CipSoft wants to press charges for copyright infregment?
