    It will go something like this:

    "I remember back in the day when you could make something they used to call mp3's to fit on small mobile players or even load into your car so you could listen to your music while driving someplace. Now? You'll get 20 to life for doing that.."

    they had links up since 2007 still going strong. A lot of stuff was there and the servers were hosted in the U.S. No surprise here. One goes down, 10 more, maybe overseas, goes up.

    Ironic that this happens just one day after the SOPA protest?

    This is bigger than people realize, this will start a big time chain reaction.

    its a big "F U" to all that protest. Sh!t clearly doesnt matter. Even without SOPA being passed as of now, the US still managed to go overseas to arrest and shutdown a site.

    You kids with your fancy schmancy processors installed directly to your brains.

    Why, back in MY day, we used to hafta sit down in a CHAIR, in front of this box called a COMPYOOOTER. We had to use our FINGERS, lord save us, and go through all sorts of rigamarole just ta download the discography of one single christing band.

    Heavens to Betsy, all you kids hafta do is THINK and you got every song ever made. Where's my maid robot? Coulda sworn the damn thing was right here.

    you mean megaupload had files from 2007? Not sure what this is saying.

    megaupload is a giant and it's sad to see this happen.

    I'm reminded of the dude in Barbarella who nailed Jane Fonda instead of using the orgasmatron.

    Basically you turn into Champ when referencing the Jets "hoisting the VLT"


    I thought this was pretty funny

    A Chinese message making the rounds on Thursday said: “At last, the planet is becoming unified: We are ahead of the whole world, and the ‘American imperialists’ are racing to catch up.”
