MegaUpload founders arrested and site shut down.

This is a few days old, but I'm bringing it back now because of a quote I just saw from Jonathon Coulton (the brilliant writer behind "Still Alive" which is the best song ever related to a video game):

Any other musicians out there notice that ever since they shut down MegaUpload, the money has just been POURING in?

More and more it does seem that corporations are running the government. I don't think that is good.

WSJ had an article today about a legitimate user who was using the site to host her songs for distribution.

She's unhappy.

White House talks down SOPA.

Hollywood guy publicly claims he will not donate to White House's reelection campaign because of it.

Next day, MegaUpload, a Hollywood enemy, is raided.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I wonder when the media will start digging. You know they love a good political scandal.
