Just thought I'd let you guys know, there are some fake MegaUpload websites that are scamming real users out of their passwords. Be careful not to visit these. :furious:

Do you think Megavideo and Megaupload will come back for good? :/

Those fbi @sses ruined my whole website, all documentaries were hosted on megavideo

And not just that, but a lot of Websites are starting to freak out because of this. All of the websites that I used to watch my T.V. shows on are removing all of their videos and such out of pure fear. And Youtube is going on a show-removing war path. in a day many shows that I used to watch on their got deleted and accounts suspended, just like that. >_< it's very frustrating. Now I gotta buy all these T.V. shows and movies because I don't have a T.V. and Netflix doesn't have half of the stuff I used to watch! >=(

In all fairness, the stuff that's getting deleted has been/is illegally hosted and provided. Just sayin'... :P we've been enjoying an illegal bounty of free s***.

^ Exactly. It's bad megavideo's down but it was never right in the first place. We were all offenders for watching stuff without paying. But, there had never really been proper consequences before now, so it's sort of the governments fault too for being so slack and letting everyone get away with this for so long. There wouldn't be such an outrage if the Feds had managed everything a little bit better from the beginning, or bit by bit, rather than going in and demanding everything be taken down at once.

Not that I'm happy that there will be things I cannot watch anymore because I live in the UK and some of my favorite shows don't run here, but all good things come to an end. And I doubt much else will be done tbh.

That's all true, but still, it's pretty annoying when you don't have any other means of watching T.V.

And in all seriousness, how much of the internet doesn't have illegal stuff on it? At this rate there won't be nothin' left xD

Same here! I watch The Vampire Diaries on megavideo because it airs in America first. I can't survive without Megavideo. D:
