I can't imagine how. It was Megaupload's responsibility to remove copyrighted content when the copyright holders, as per DMCA, sent a takedown notice. If you never even had one of your uploads deleted by Megaupload, then chances are the government cares even less about your uploaded material. It's crazy to think that the U.S. government is going to start slapping millions of Americans with fines in excess of $100,000. Even if they tried, that alone would probably cause the anarchy that everyone seems so interested in.
Actually there's *nothing* stopping a copyright owner from suing an uploader. DMCA is mainly about hosting sites and what *they* have to do to garner "safer harbor" status.
An end user who uploaded/donwloaded copyrighted material can still be sued under US law, it's just that to do so the copyright owner has to gain their personal information so the lawsuit can be filed.
This can be *really* hard, if the hosting site properly complies with DMCA as beyond removing the offending material and forwarding any warning to end users they're *NOT* obliged to give out personal information of their end users. They only have to do that, if the copyright owner comes with a court warrant and to get a warrant they need proof of some sort... for which they need the download logs, which they can't get unless the hosting site complies... which is doesn't have to do...
...so all in all, it was a catch 22 to for copyright owners, since they'd have a really hard time to actually sue end users, all they could achieve was get the offending material removed.
However if they *do* get the records... then it's *business* *time*. They can go ahead and sue... especially if they get personal records of subscribers instead mere logs anonymous IP addresses (the later of which would need yet *another* round of Catch-22 headache).
The problem though is that a lot of ISPs bend as far as they can, with asscheecks spread for copyright owners (...no wonder, most ISPs are in the same hands as the big media companies), so even though they *could* withhold information, often they don't.
Now, what's not sure is whether the Feds actually got the user database. For all we do know, the owner of Megaupload could've encrypted the whole database in which case the Feds are fucked as they won't have any useable records... I wouldn't gamble on this one though.

Moms had me circumcised at birth. I am grateful for that because i have seen uncircumcised and some of the complications that can happen because of it, and it just doesn't seem right to me. So yea i'm for getting circumcised.Frankly the only "complication" a boy can get uncircumcised is if his mother/nanny/nurse whomever keeps jerking on his penis as a kid, damaging the foreskin!

My feeling is that they're pushing for this to create sufficient precedents in court to later on nab other people on similar grounds, so even if PIPA/SOPA don't pass they will have a de-facto censorship instead a de-jure one.

[size=10]Copy Pasted from my post in IB.[/h]Don't mix anti-piracy with censorship. If you are after a drug vendor, you disable his means of distribution (such as intercepting shipments or confiscating his goods). Similarly, to stop a pirate, you disable their means of distribution, which in this case means shutting down their servers. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with doing so. If there was a street in Hong Kong that sells predominantly stolen goods, does one legitimate shop on that street mean that the street can't be "shut down"? The most logical thing is for the legit shop owner to not set up shop there in the first place.
Most people say that the wording in SOPA/PIPA is "extremely vague", but has anyone actually read the legislation for themselves? Or is this just a case of "I oppose it because everyone else does and it's cool 'stick it to the man'"? I think it's the latter. I oppose SOPA/PIPA, but I think most people are opposing it for the wrong reasons. Shortly put, I don't support censorship, but I DO support Anti-Piracy and so should you if you want quality content.
Arresting a non-US citizen outside of US soil is definitely not cool (although it is nice that the New Zealand police actually DID something this time of International significance), but anyone who claims that Megaupload or any of the other file-sharing sites don't predominantly host pirated material is just lying to themselves. 99% of the stuff on Megaupload infringe copyright, and the owners of Megaupload are making millions off the site. Shutting down the site and seizing the culprits were perfectly justified actions.
For those of you who complain that Megaupload was a good Internet locker, can you honestly say that you never once used it for piracy? And Dropbox is better anyway. If you need a professional Internet locker for your occupation, it pains me to say that your business probably isn't in the best of shape if you don't pay a few dollars a year for Dropbox and opt to use Megaupload instead. MU's interface is far more obstructive for both you and your customers, not to mention the inconvenience.
Here is the deal: As per DMCA, a hosting company is not held liable for the content their users upload and it *NOT* their responsibility to police the content of their users. A copyright owner can request content to be removed and you'd see the big damn "DMCA" button on Megaupload which allowed just that.
So here's the real deal: The takedown of Megaupload under the grounds that it was "facilitating" piracy - under current laws - is fraudulent.
If they can prove that Megaupload was not complying with DMCA takedown notices or that they *knew* material was copyrighted yet didn't take steps then they can be prosecuted... however for this to be true there have to be records that prove that. Suspicion is not enough. They have to have had some sort of record that shows they knew a specific file is copyrighted material and whom its owned by and yet they failed to take action.

Is there a link somewhere that might say how many TBs of data have been wiped from the raids? Or if MU had some sort of geographical redundancy?You can still access their frontpage through this ip: http://109.236.83.66/ if you're lucky enough, as it doesn't seem to have enough bandwidth to support everyone connecting through it at the moment. If anyone manages to download a file by modifying the URL, do reply!
Oh... so apparently all the feds did, was take out the domain. Makes sense, since they can't actually touch the servers as they're not located in the US. This is actually how SOPA would've operated.
Tip: if you have something on megaupload, just replace the start of the URL (megaupload.com) with the address above and it might work.
EDIT: NOPE. Apparently the links are broken... I wonder if the files too are gone as well.

If you haven't already, unscrew the screws on the bottom of your keyboard, take it apart, and wash the plastic parts off. Clean the motherboard with a damp rag or something and set it all out to dry. Make sure it's all clean and completely dry and put it back together. If it doesn't work, I guess you're going to have to go buy a $10 keyboard at walmart.Instead what the video shows I suggest cleaning the membrane sheets with rubbing alcohol, as it quickly evaporates so you don't have to separate the sheets to dry them, therefore you avoid the whole headache about ripping them as you don't have to break the small plastic welds.

That the thing.. server isn't in america.. how can you arrest or 404 a site no in the preview of a law.. if it's the local authorizes via there laws.. then that different.There's a guy from Britain who will likely to be extradited to the USA to face charges for copyright infringement. With shit like that already going down, I'm not et all surprised by what Washington pulls nowadays.

Could you people please stop replying to the remarks of an obvious troll made more than a month ago? I know it sometimes feel good to circle-jerk each other about how much you agree that the poster is dumb/issue can't be helped, but this isn't giving the site any feedback which this section is for.

I think one of the unfortunate problems with pedophiia is that one can't really indulge it without rape, considering there is no way a per-pubebescent child would consent to sex(After puberty i do think its possible for a teen to consent tho)With that said, i judge people by there actions, not there thoughts.
Also, exactly what kind of stuff is posted under r/jailbait(I don't realy use reddit)? I don't feel like i can really judge it fairly without knowing
Sexually oriented pictures of underage kids (mosty girls, duh).
Last I heard though r/jailbait got taken down?
Edit: Checked, and while the primary r/jailbait board is gone there are numerous smaller ones that are all for the same thing
It's illegal to feature underage teenagers in pornographic works even if they are over the age of consent.
Jailbait though tends to refer to girls who are *very* much pubescent... so depending on the jurisdiction you're in, they might be over the age of consent. It's just that in a lot of states in the USA, the age of consent is rather high (16-18 vs. 14-15 as in most of Europe), so you have conversations like this:
Guy 1: "Dude I think that chic is checkin me out."
Guy 2: "No man, stay away she looks like jailbait to me."
Guy 3: "Yea man, 14 will get you 20."

You need to post the full name.
Seems like you needed even more knowledge of the rules.
Not posting the full name of a character doesn't void your claim, but it *does* open up the chance that she might be stolen by someone who *does* use it.

It's not that I'm particular to small breasts, it's just that works featuring them have higher quality eroticism as the artist has to focus on the more sublime elements of erotica - poses, movement, situation, etc. - rather than mere in-your face sexual characteristics.

Well, to be honest there are good cops and there are bad cops. The good cops join to help protect others. Bad cops usually are either
1. join cause they want to abuse their power and are power hungry
2. good cops that gone bad because of something in their lives or it went to their head.
In america in general where its all about power, alot are probably bad cops, but some of them are good cops just ex-military which may make them have different SOP and therefore react differently in different scenarios.
It's not a different SOP. It's an outrage. A man who's basic instinct or ingrained training is to immediately use violence whenever in a confrontation should never be allowed to be part of a police force.
For some reason in Europe homicide rates are a lot lower... maybe the fact that the police are not so quick to gun you down might have a lot to do with that.

Really, I think it's terrible that people take so much advantage over the delicate issue of "police brutality". It's ridiculous that a criminal could say: "I shot three babies but that policeman hurt my wrists by putting the cuffs on too tight.", and have something done about it. It's a major flaw that needs to be fixed. It's ridiculous a cop can break a teenagers arm for failing to be submissive enough and get away with it on the grounds that "there are dangerous criminals out there who shoot babies".
These are incidents all caught on camera... yet the overwhelming majority of the "officers" involved were never prosecuted.
The police is out of control. I don't hate them for giving out tickets, doing searches or pat-downs. I hate them for arbitrarily interpreting the law and doing as they please rather than doing as they should, mandated by the law.

The cops in the USA are fucking scaring the ever living be-jesus out of me. Why? Because cops are not supposed to have this much authority to use violence on a whim and deprive people of their rights as long as they can spout enough BS to justify it.
...and things have gotten ever worse. Nowadays they act more like enforcers for the "Big Grand Order" (i.e. how things are MEANT TO BE), rather than keepers of peace. No, life didn't get more dangerous... they did.
Case in point:
http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=cop-soldier
Best advice concerning the police: Don't Talk to the Police
More good advice:
Bottom line: As long as the police are more concerned with busting whomever they can instead helping out I'll be wary of them.

Recently I had an encounter with some friends that made me a bit upset and confused.While fighting over something that was probably stupid me and my guy friend fell on the floor only to have him fall on top of me, then of course at the prefect moment my other guy friend walks in thinking the situation was sexual when it wasn't! His response was to high five my friend and shake his head at me and call me nasty!!
Although I know he was joking, social never really is. If a girl likes to have sex she's nasty but if a guy likes to he's perfectly normal cause it's natural. I just don't think it's fair and justified!
a guy can get multiple women pregnant and pass his dna down to future generations. Women can have sex with multiple guys but only one baby is born. It's all social evolution. to clarify, it makes sense for men to have multiple partners, so society accepts that, it doesn't for females, so society doesn't. Is it right, or wrong? from the scientific standpoint it's fine. Other than that, it's personal and in that there is no right and wrong.
On a side note, I'd rather no be with a woman who has slept with a bunch of different men, so I can understand that reason as well.
also maybe it all stems from being afraid of crossing the streams? we may not want to find out if so and so is better in bed or has a humongus dong.
There are birds who intentionally mate with more than one male. They do this to ensure to support of both males as neither knows whose child they are rearing and the subsequent boost in resources gives a better chance the chicks will grow up healthy and strong.
Applying evolutionary theory is full of pitfalls... especially when one tries to do so with humans.
