The real reason MegaUpload was shut down?
In December of 2011, it was reported by Digital Music News that the creators of MegaUpload were rolling out plans for a new cloud based music service that had the potential to change the music industry.
Called Megabox, it would have created an alternative to record labels as a means for artists to sell their music on-line, cut out the middle man and allow artists to keep 90 percent of their earnings.
They were also going to have a program called Megakey that allowed artists to offer their music free and still generate revenue.
This came just a week or so after Universal filed to have a promotional video by Megaupload removed from youtube that featured A list artists, that Universal had absolutely no claim to.
Was Megaupload taken down because it was a threat to an existing business model, that makes a lot of people a lot of money?
It’s starting to look that way.
Also, for your reading enjoyment, here is an interview with the founder of Megaupload concerning the youtube video take down, and his previous problems with Universal.

A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin
Director: David Fincher
Producers: JJ Abrams & Steven Moffat
Musical Score: Trent Reznor & Michael Giacchino
Synopsis: The year is 2012, and the Internet has been prosperous for over twenty years. It is the information age, and millions use the Internet as a resource for news, communication, and entertainment. However, there is a more sinister side: that of piracy, and sharing files that could - arguable - infringe on copyright agreements. After years of watching from the shadows, the United States government begins forging legislation that will forever change (if passed) the internet and the way we use it. As the attacks on the Internet begin, the government finds that it has opposition: both grassroots in terms of ordinary citizens and the worldwide community, but also in that of internet activist group Anonymous. As the threats from both groups escalate, and legal teams, senators, congressmen and other organizations choose sides, it quickly becomes apparent that the quest to save the internet may very well save your soul.

citizens of europe:

go to http://www.europarl.org/, select your country (left colume) and then find the contacts of your representatives under “Parlament”, “Your MEPs” or something like this. AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
PLEASE REBLOG THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE
comborbotch:faux-tail:prawnosaurus:
This is a petition on the Directgov website - this goes straight through to parliment and at the current time of posting it only has 21 signatures
I know a lot of people are reblogging the one sponsored by anonymous which is great but if you live in the UK, this is going to be your best best at getting yourself heard about ACTA - even if you don’t live in the UK or even the EU, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, as ACTA is something that not only affects Europe but the rest of the world as well and this could be one of the only opportunities for it to be downturned
America isn’t the only ones having problems, guys. The same way SOPA and PIPA threatened the future of all countries through example, ACTA is working on settling in as one of the many bricks in the wall.
Reblog, sign, do what you can.
We’re at 711 signatures. Go go go.

Please help. We won’t be able to send you BBC and European TV and stuff if this passes. As my friend said, this is dangerous and scary.
I’m not sure how to set one up, someone please make a petition.
+ Canada. Canada is included in this as well. fml.
ACTA is actually worldwide!
The negotiating parties include: Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland and the United States. And according to Wikipedia of all these participants only The EU, Mexico, and Switzerland have yet to sign!!!
All the negotiations were conducted behind closed doors until a series of leaked documents relating to the negotiations emerged which explains why there is little to no media coverages.
This is all scary stuff. Read more about ACTA at Wikipedia och check out this video: ACTA EXPLAINED.
It is really interesting about the lack of press coverage on this…
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. CAN THE WORLD JUST BACK THE FUCK OFF? ugh.
