[pp.int.general] MegaUpload raided, shut down on request of US authorities

[Rick Falkvinge (Piratpartiet)]

MegaUpload has been raided in New Zealand and shut down at the request
of US authorities.

This has a lot in common with the raid on The Pirate Bay on May 31,
2006. If the affected Pirate Parties act quickly on this, it has the
potential for a media breakthrough moment. Those are rare and need to be
positively jumped on when happening.

After all, MegaUpload didn't just have 150 million users. They also had
150 million voters.
