So I just clicked a link directing me to Megaupload, completely forgetting that the website was just taken down a few days ago and I was greeted with this page. Wow is all I can say. If this is any precursor of what is to come, I think it is fair to say that I am officially spooked.

Fuck them. Until the day I die I’ll be sharing media with nobody’s permission. Same as it ever was.

Can somebody explain to me how Racketeering applies here? When did Megaupload become the mafia?

I think it’s because of the affiliate program? How they paid greater rewards to users who uploaded highly trafficked files, making it more lucrative to upload hot copyright-infringing material and spread the links internationally. That’s the argument I’ve seen, anyway. All I know about racketeering are lines I’ve forgotten from The Untouchables.
