One-way flight to Russia? His Twitter feed for the last decade does give merit to the idea that he's been on the payroll.
Just like trump eh? Is everyone you don't like a Russian spy?

#12This Kim dude. Neverending story.
Amiga (never heard of him during my scene time), then his alleged mobile ISDN service, MEGA.
He seemed like the shady poster child for every trend who got stopped before jumping once more publicly on Crypto.

What other options does he have? I really wish people wouldn't cheer when smallfolk like us get crushed by the state. Not saying he's perfect, but what him and others have to suffer seems vastly out of proportion to what they did
I do not categorize him as “small folk like us”
It's still a human. He just shared songs on the the internet. He's treated like a war criminal.

Let's not read past the words written on the screen now. No reason to bring Trump into the conversation at all.

When a owner of a file-hosting platform face the possibility of being extradited from their resident country to the US because they (allegedly) ignored DMCA takedown requests, it does seem like it could be of interest to many of us here.
Signed, not a German.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. The degree to which the propaganda works is alarming. They'll turn a blind eye to Ross Ulbricht, Snowden, the Patriot Act, etc. while wasting their time foaming at the mouth at made up stories about Russia. Unreal to see in this day and age, honestly - I mean you'd think the internet + a little critical thinking would have given these people a clue.

#18Anyone know why this is prioritised? Wasn't this copyright stuff from like 2 decades ago? Just genuinely curious.

Maybe I don't know the full story, but as far as I understand, it seems like they (Megaupload) were ignoring DMCA takedown requests for a long time, was aware there was a ton of piracy on the site and didn't give any indication whatsoever that they were even trying to react to it by banning accounts that were uploading infringing content.
I don't necessarily agree you should be taken away from your home-country because of that, seems relatively minor in the grand scale of things, but he was hardly "just sharing songs on the internet".
