>After coming under intense pressure PayPal has closed the account of cloud-storage service Mega. According to the company, SOPA proponent Senator Patrick Leahy personally pressured Visa and Mastercard who in turn called on PayPal to terminate the account. Bizarrely, Mega's encryption is being cited as a key problem.
"We regret to inform you that we cannot continue doing business with you because you won't let some of our customers to spy on your customers."

PayPal would pull shit like that if it wasn't mega anyway, fuck them
Good. Kim Dotcom is a criminal and he'll serve his time once the US justice system gets its hands on it. He can't hide forever.

Too bad he never broke a law in his life, stupid shit.
>>46776774
Actually he is not a criminal.... and he isn't hiding.
Are you fucking retarded?
He broke US laws, except he's never been to the united states and our laws don't apply to him. He didn't break any laws in his native country to which is also a resident.
Shit, did I just get baited?

The guy's obviously driven and smart or he wouldn't be where he is. He's obnoxious and cheesy at times but he's accomplished more than 99% of humans despite being a morbidly obese, awkward German fuck.
This Paypal situation only makes me respect him more, because angering shitheads like Leahy and his corporate overlords means you are doing something right, even if it's insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

The popular file-hosting service Uptobox has blocked access for U.S. users following pressure from Visa and MasterCard. The credit card companies are asking payment processors to stop servicing the cyberlockers over piracy concerns.

He literally paid people to upload copyrighted material to Megaupload. He is a criminal and should be punished.
>>46777342
Good goyim. These DCMA laws need to be followed and enforced.
>>46777023
hacker with a reputation going back to the early 90s
Yeah, his reputation is that he will fuck you over if it makes him money.
>privacy advocate who has worked with greenwald, snowden, and assange
Also don't forget how he listened in to customers private discussions and then used that knowledge to, again, make money. Truly an advocate for privacy.
>>46776757
Patrick Leahy.
People in my state actually support and vote for him each time around.

>>46777342
He broke laws that shouldn't exist in the first place that only exist in a country he doesn't live in. Go suck some more power hungry control freak politician cock. You animal.
