For those who are hosting trainz content on Mega Upload...

Yeah, so, I'm wondering if the FBI was able to do this, why are SOPA and PIPA needed...?

Good point, though. Lots of legit content went with this takedown.
 
RRSignal,

You ask a very good question. Maybe the laws we have would be sufficient if we were willing to enforce them.

That's it, exactly! As I posted in a different thread they new bills pending are just an attempt to enact "blanket laws" when other laws already exist, but are difficult to enforce.
 
Ummm, back up your content, it looks like open warfare has been declared....

Anonymous has been busy.
 
anonymous attacks back

Hacker group Anonymous isn’t happy about the takedown of file-sharing site Megaupload, and as a result, it’s targeting some big companies and government agencies.
Earlier this afternoon, interspersed with a stream of anti-SOPA and PIPA tweets, the main Anonymous Twitter account declared, “The government takes down #Megaupload? 15 minutes later #Anonymous takes down government & record label sites. #ExpectUs.” Specifically, the group claimed responsibility for taking down the Universal Music, RIAA (the record industry’s lobbying arm), MPAA (the movie industry’s lobbying arm), and Department of Justice websites, among others. As of 3pm Pacific, the sites were still down for me, although some comments on Twitter suggested that they were returning online sporadically.
The group also claimed that the current attacks were “the largest attack ever by Anonymous,” with 5,635 participants. And it looks like the campaign is ongoing — Anonymous says it’s going after the FBI’s website next: “Get some popcorn… it’s going to be a long lulzy night.”
 
Ugh...listen, as I posted in another thread, there is no proof that this is the same "Anonymous". The claim fails on many levels. Even if it is, so what? These petulant attention-w--res could easily do more damage, if they had a little discipline and if they were legit.

Get a couple pics of Chris Dodd or Lamar Alexander with their mistresses and then we'll talk. Oh, and I'd need to know it's from the real, verifiable "Anonymous" and not someone speaking to a would-be Jayson Blair...oops, I mean some reporter looking for a killer story.
 
Anyway, for those having their content stored at Megaupload and not backed up, You should still access it using IP addresses, Megaupload is said to be disabled by deleting DNS records.
 
g'day all,
i've seen what maybe is going on here
if this gets through, all content creators are in breach of copyright laws
cheers,
