welp megaupload - the umbrella company for all the mega* sites has been raided by the FBI on charges of piracy. To be exact: encouraging piracy.
Apparently it's based in New Zealand.
The owner of the mega* franchise is Kim Schmitz aka kimble, he is basically the poster-child for undeserved wealth. A liar and a cheater.

Here's a photo of the fat fuck:

Though you have to say, we're all gonna miss Megaupload.
I say at 12PM EST, let's observe a 72 minute moment of silence in memory of Megaupload.
restarts modem. timer reset.
But in the end these greedy fuckers who shat all over the whole pirates creed of no profit deserved what they got. It is just too bad that all of us who still fight the good fight are getting lumped in with this fat worthless prick. This is just the sort of impetus that the sponsors of SOPA need to pull their wagon full of lies over the top.

And sorry, but the whole SOPA thing makes me think of this and want to cry
Our extradition laws are shit. They will allow any country to have a NZ citizen to be extradited to any country except if the punishment is death or torture.

Soon enough we will all be marching to the same tune.
I don't hate the people of America or your country but I hate your government. I'm strongly against my country getting involved with bullshit international problems.
They haven't broken any local laws, the US government asked for them to be arrested. And our government wonder why we bitch about police resources and tax dollars being wasted on bullshit like this. Worry about the rapists and other scum, dont worry about problems that aren't fucking ours.
On the subject of Kim Schmitz, I don't give a shit about the guy. He was dumb enough to get caught.
