admin 21:05 Add Comment
Megaupload.com, one of the world’s largest file-sharing sites, has been seized. Its founder and company executives were arrested and charged with violations of piracy laws.



Megaupload is considered a “cyberlocker” or an online file storage provider that allows uploading, hosting and downloading of video, image, audio, document and software files.



According to Techland at Time.com, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) “estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.”







The website now has a notification that says its service “can only be used to upload and retrieve files” that are “uploaded personally.”
