Most UTAU/Vocaloid content are uploaded to mediafire, megaupload and 4share. Though there are numerous other file sharing sites, it'd suck to see them all go.

Megaupload was taken down, but they had their servers in the states so I guess it's not too much of a shock. It sucks, but there will be replacements and other file sharing sites.

I feel bad for those that lost things that fell under fair use and were their own property(example homework and whatever else they uploaded to MU). That and the people that actually paid money for a premium account on MU.

Doesn't this whole SOPA thing effect other countries?

Uh-huh. Feel like detailing your battle plan, O courageous leader?

idk, but still. i mean the uk has had enough as it is. if this passes, it will be the last straw. no one in their right mind would pass this.
and no. it only affects the us. if these companies moved their servers elsewhere. then they would be back up. but not in the us.

Started panicking, then I remembered I had my stuff--stuff I myself made, like my visual novel--on Mediafire, not Megaupload. [phew] Still sad to see them go; a lot of other people did put their games on there. I hate Anonymous wholeheartedly, but I'm kinda happy they did that.

The worst part about it is that Megaupload has been taking down copyrighted stuff. It's impossible to find a song by Perfume on there, for instance. They're definitely not facilitating piracy.

yep, but still. the us goverment cant block sites in other countries. if MU wants to go back up. just send them to the uk. but america wont be able to use it still.

So the government is challenging the world now?

And it begins. I wonder how long until it takes the government to realize they're just causing a big ass shitstorm.

the us goverment has always thought they own everyone. thats why im glad i live in britain. tbh, weve had enough of thewhite house and your congress. and no, like i said. if MU left the states. came to the uk. then the world would have MU again. but the states would still be unable to see it. and woah. after every post i type, your avatar changes

The fact that Megaupload's based in Hong Kong makes it even more absurd. And that the U.S. arrested employees in New friggin' Zealand.

Because a few users of the site they work for are downloading music illegally. smh.

Bya can I live with you in Canada so I can fight the imperial government once known as the "government for the people" if WW3 breaks out?

as far as i know, alot of the servers are in the us. im pretty sure only the head offices are in hong kong
and also going in and arresting other people in other countries is an infringment of international law. unless they had new zealands permission.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I wonder if the government is trying to intimidate others with this...
