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

[chiara moraglio]

You don't think it's strange this raid? I found on youtube now many illegal
movies. Youtube is a propriety of google... Maybe this raid is not so
accidental... They are many flipped illegal movies on the Tube, and normaly
is impossible put something of not conform at the legacy of the website for
many time if they don't want... Normaly the organization delete quicly a
video considerate a "bad video"...
I want show some link that I found:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf5doN1cwqk
At what kind of user it's allow to post a video of more then 10 minutes
lenght? It's strange...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RkuDE1jjzI
this movie, otherwise, it's only flipped, but divided on many parts lenght
less then 10 minutes...
I think it's only for economic interest that megavideo was closed, not for
fight the illegal replication of content with copyright! They only move the
content on a own website (youtube remain so the only big content and
monopolize the market ) for keep the great number of visitors before on
megavideo and increment the traffic on the own website... Is a
possibility... What do u think about?
