(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok guys so i was just chillin on my laptop trying to find some editing packs on youtube from the editors club when i came accross a megaupload link. clicking the link i was then brought up to a message saying that it was under federal investigation for all these charges. it made me ponder (go into a nervous breakdown) if one day the feds came knocking on your door for the same reason.

simple question: What do you think are the chances that the FEDs knock on your door for stealing programs and music and such?

my answer: personally i think it is unlikely, the fact that they are now going after the (the boss) so to say of the copyright infringement people, leaves me thinking that if they were to go after the millions of people who steal it would take forever.

THey might pick out a few as a scare tactic, but for the most part they only care about the owners of sites/big content uploaders.

well considering that megaupload was the 13th biggest5 site in the world at one point unlikely .. it would cost way to much for them to send people round to all of the and despite the fact time taken to get ip's and so on.. by knocking out the main supply to people that down load illegally it limits the amount of places that it is possible to download from.. so on so on

If you was you wouldn't get a warning

BTW, have nobody heard about the Megaupload-case? The owner(s?) is arrested, and the website is taken down, where instead a notice about Megauploads crime is showed
