As written before: Kim Schmitz involved. That already is a _big_ red
flag yelling "stay the hell away". I would be _very_ surprised if Megaupload
didn't keep detailed logs ... that [obscenity deleted] has a history of
serving as a well paid judas goat.
Guns don't kill people. Eletricity
don't kill people. Cars don't
kill
people. Torrent does not pirate software by itself. Torrent is just a
(very smart) way of distribuiting something. I can't see torrent as a
pirate-only medium.
Thank you--I'm not against Bittorrent; I used to use it myself. But
it has a bullseye drawn on it by the government and I'd rather stay
out of the line of fire.
Similarly, there was nothing intrinsically wrong with Megaupload. That didn't prevent authorities from taking action
against it.
Honestly, seeing _that_ [obscenity deleted] taken down is a good thing to
happen. I hope they take him out if circulation for a while this time.
The cyber-world in general is not as friendly as it
used to be.
And there are way more con men around than before.
Kind regards,
Alex.
