megaupload closed because of money laundering, piracy is not

[okpaa]

one of mediafire support tills me that filehosting site safe , megaupload owners are a special case and that he was arrested for using the site money in online money laundering
mediafire and other file hosting sites safe and
As long as they removed files that violate property rights and the reported

 

[Vee]

yeah, filesonic removed illegal files too. that worked out well.

 

[maloxi]

maybe its true, but you see that many are scared by police (or feds, whatever)

 

[masterbator]

copyright infringement = piracy

 

[snowmanrene]

The reason everyone is panicking is because, the prosecutors are mixing in the piracy-related offences with the hard-criminal offences which they WILL get a conviction with.

And then the entertainment industries will use this as a precedent saying that MegaUpload was a similar case since it involved similar related piracy-offences.

So the piracy-offences on their own won't stick, but couple it with some hardcore drug and money-laundering offences, and you get a solid case.

 

[Vee]

No offence, but if you'd read the indictment or even a summary of the indictment or even a single news article that reported on the megaupload arrests you would already know why they were arrested. :facepalm:

Money laundering by paying uploaders.

wild speculation

Lol, money laundering, as if there are people that don't do that xD

 

[torrentdownload7i]

If your words are correct then arrest of Kim is not at all for file sharing. Then one question arises why all the hosts are running away from the business:O. Don't they know the real case as you quoted? Or there something more that FED's are hiding?

 

[foxman]

Don't know about others but this thread seems good to me atleast.
It's not just about megaupload. Everyone is fearing because of MU arrest.
So, it might be useful to know why they were actually arrested.

you'r right and the proof that the crimes of money laundering is a reservation on the property and money which is what happened with the car of the site owner
