I assume this must be the follow up from the Perfect10 law suit, which I mentioned in an earlier post.

If this is correct, then most of this forums content has just been lost in one fowl swoop. I would of thought they would have given there subscribers prior notice of this, so they could a least back-up there own files first.

I hope this is only temporary. As I have nearly 1 Terabyte of video files stored on their suite of sites. And I'll be extremely pissed, if I've lost the lot.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO. I TO ONLY HOPE THIS IS TEMPORARY.

get the feeling its gonna get nasty for a few months with all thats happening in the states with wikipedia and the like

Wiki says that "On 19th January 2012 Federal Prosecutors in Virginia closed down Megaupload and charged its founder and others for breaching anti-Piracy laws." Link to information on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload#Unavailability

Soooo it looks like we have to find another source for the videos on the forum. But this is wiki were speaking about whether its true or not that's a different story.

RIP MU.

It would appear to be true.
