Hackers Knock Out Mega

[Your Gaffer]

Though I don't agree with the 90% thing, I must say I support them in their stance against Dotcom's profiting off piracy. One thing is the industry's heavy profiting model yet low income to the actual content creators, another thing is piracy which doesn't even give a dime to the original creators. But when you combine those two, lots of money for yourself, zero for original artist, I say it's wrong.

Well Dotcom claims his next service will be an online publishing service that gives way more money to artists, so that should represent a big step up, right?

All I'm going to say is those hackers seriously have their priorities wrong. And also that whoever sold them the domain has their priorities wrong. Wrong, wrong everywhere.

And then Anonymous tries to wipe the board clean.

Then 4chan catches wind of this and EVERYONE DIES.

Just throwing it out there, generally people don't label themselves as the "true pirates".

What the hell is running through their heads.....

Well, not on The Escapist, that's for sure. Then again, The Escapist would ban you for it.

Spoiler: True Pirates

OT:

Can the government get its head out of its ass with these copyrighting laws already? They're behaving like children afraid of the monster in the closet when that's supposed to be Publishers' jobs....to...cower...

anyway...


@ Omega: Pffft....ghheee.....ahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I can't tell who is worse, Omega or Blaise Louembe. I think Luoembe might be becuase it looks an awful lot like he is in Vivendi's pocket. Also did that hacker group hack anything? It looks like they just bought me.ga. WATCH OUT!WE GOT A BAD ASS OVER HERE.

This is absolutely hilarious on so many levels. They talk down on Kim Dotcom for looking to make a profit, then threaten to sell the domain for "millions of dollars". Oh Irony.

Gotta love when "anarchists" don't quite understand anarchy.

ANARCHY SMASH THE SYSTEM, just theirs not ours ok.

Twenty bucks says none of these guys have never seen an anarchistic society at work.

Agreed. It's as sad as Canadian calling Obama a "horrible socialist"...

When I was reading the quote from the hacking group, I unconsciously started reading it in a really whiny hipster voice. Y'know, the sort of voice you hear from amateur musicians who talk about how no music has ever been good except the music that is played by current amateur musicians.

 

[crazyrabbits]

I don't know what's funnier: that there's an entire state in the back pocket of Vivendi/Universal, that cloud-based storage systems are suddenly evil, or that there's a new hacker group trying to one-up Anonymous.

They should throw all three parties in an arena and see who emerges victorious. Until then, this is nothing more than a pissing contest.
