NO YOU SHOULD HAVE STARTED PANICING A LONG TIME AGO ,NO YOU MORON THEY WERENT WTF DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT GOES AFTER PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE BAD AND THERE(THE GOVERNMENT)ARE GOOD AND THERE NOT THE CRINIMALS? THIS WILL BE THE 1ST ONE TO SET THE PRECEDENT ,NOW THAT SOPA AND PIPA HAVE HAD ALL THIS BACKLASH THEY ARE GOING TO START TAKING DOWN ALL THE FILE HOSTING SITES NOW, THIS IS THE OPENING SLAVO IN A WAR THAT WILL NOT STOP TILL ALL THE FILE SHARE SITES ARE DOWN OR TILL ALL FEDS ARE KILLED DEAD:evil:

I dont hope filesonic is next, i think most links on this site are related to that site so that would be completly f-d (and also their premium accounts are easy to get

As a long time MU fan it's gonna suck to see it go.

OMG that's too bad. I uploaded lots and lots of stuff there, i even contributed in the forums which is apparently is down as well :'(

Now i have to switch to a different uploading site. Which site you think is the most convineint guys? Please i want suggestions.

They will not go after the end user. This is about tackling the creators of these sites. More filehosting sites are to come. You can bank on that!

Anonymous! Anonymous! They can't detour the US Government. They might try & scare them but this is only the beginning from the Feds. More file-hosting sites being shutdown are sure to come.

download all you can. pretty soon we wont be able to anymore. :( means no more games and those naughty videos. noooooo lol

Good ****ing lord, all the comments here are "I lost this" "I this" "I that".

You don't get it, do you? It's censorship starting. Since most movements and activist groups get around using internet this is the way the US government strikes back.
This has nothing to do with piracy.

Movie industry owners said that when we could duplicate VHS tape that would kill the movie industry, did it? Piracy is a good thing for industry.
I would never buy a ps3 if there was no piracy. If there was no piracy, no ps3, so in the end Sony could sell me a PS3 or sell me nothing.
I ended up buying lots of used games for bargains with a 100+ original games collection and 300+ pirated games here. So what do you think? Piracy is good or bad?
Wake up, this has nothing to do with Piracy.

Megaupload sued Universal for taking the song out of youtube without any explanation. They stood against the bad guys and that's the result.
I would never buy an Universal industry product ever AGAIN.
