| | It's not all a big conspiracy Karl, you are getting a little too conspiracy theory minded for my liking.
I have a hard time connecting the dots that the entertainment industry was really so worried that megabox was going to become some uber indie label that would render their labels useless. It really just a copy of Google Music's Indie hub model anyway, and I can't see how it was going to some credible threat to their bottom line.
I would be more swayed by your anti-government, anti-entertainment industry rants if you did not take the sides of the pirates every time. Megaupload is accurately described above as making money by peddling content they don't own, and offering nothing new or creative to the world.
Seems like you wouldn't be happy unless all content was freely shared, which I can't see as a model that would finance the production of a movie. | |

 | | Re: It's not all a big conspiracy Why they just did not heavily fine mega upload then? They could be allowed to run under condition of better copyright enforcement. But they got arrested and shutdown. Thoughts? | |

| | | The United States Government is deathly afraid of not being able to control the Internet. They have seen around the world how Free Speech, the open exchange of ideas and people's ability to communicate have toppled other corrupt regimes. They are afraid that THEY will be next.
When Obama states "everyone gets a fair shot" in regards to the remaining middle class, I have to wonder, does he mean Firing Squad or Lethal Injection? This is NOT a "Government of the People, By the People and For the People" and hasn't been for decades. Expect a lot more Jack Booted Thuggery to come. | |

Crimes against the state will be punished more harshly than crimes such as first degree murder. | |

| The difference would be that this service very well could include it's own contract of sorts that disallows an artist from jumping labels which keeps them away from the RIAA legally just like the RIAA locks up their artists through represented labels. Apple and Google both have agreements with the RIAA record labels so in all the fine print it's a sure thing they have to pander to the record labels with any new talent that might show up.
