What they were doing is making large amounts of money off of people who had actually spent money creating the content on their site, at their expense. They had no interest in 'freedom of information' or any of that bullshit, they just had interest in getting rich by leeching off productive people. Of course that is scummy, you dolt.
If they had crated a site called megaillegalupload, I'd agree. But I have no doubt that many, many people used that site for legitimate reasons, to upload a file to the site so that they could send it to their friends etc.
It's the same as piratebay, there were thousands of legal torrents on there. There was just millions of illegal ones too. It's not the sites fault, you cannot be put at fault for that.
That is fucking ridiculous. If I go in to the theatre and play a pirated film on the projector, does that mean the theatre owners are scummy?
They have all the resources set up to do so. Obviously it's their fault right

Not that they even bothered to take the time limit off for them.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I never used the site, mainly because it had too much attention on it. Luckily too coz the feds probably have all the IP addresses of people who used the site now.
