Megaupload Limited

Although this is a bit outdated I thought it would be noteworthy to share a story that was shared to me by Aaron Wilson, of GONOB Radio. 




"Megaupload Limited is best known for its closed websites including the top-15 file hosting service megaupload.com, an online Hong-Kong-based company established in 2005 that ran a number of online services related to file storage and viewing. The domain names were seized and the sites shut down by the U.S Justice Department on January 19, 2012, following an indictment and arrest o the owners for allegedly operating as an organization dedicated to copyright infringement (i..e. Youtube/Google surely never does this). $330 million-worth assets were frozen by the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong."  (SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA).
