The sentence is 20 years for racketeering and 5 years for each count of copyright infringement. Which includes all uploads to the site (as if they could police that effectively).

Pretty obvious this is a response to the opposition SOPA and PIPA have been receiving.

what the hell...

[BunnyClock]

I used that site for school!

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

I used that site for school!

I use it for porn. But also uploading giant FLAs that frogbag wont accept.

[buttplug]

I use it for porn.

Think of all the broken links now. That one rare tentacle enema hentai you want but was only hosted on megaupload.

Maybe this will cause a significant enough stirr for everyone to realize exactly what these bills passing could mean.

They are showing us they don't need the bill to go through to do this shit.

[RobClock]

Well yeah, there's that too. But I meant that, if the bills were to pass, such action could possibly be more commonplace and for less justifiable reasons.

Goodbye Imageshack, Photobucket, Frogbag, MegaUpload, Newgrounds, Youtube, Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogspot, 4chan, etc any site that any user can upload things to.

Either way this whole thing reminds me of the Pirate Bay trial.

You mess with 4chan's porn, you unleash the fucking fury.

[CerealGuy]

Listen people. If you still want your flash movies to be viewable on the internet.

YOU
MUST
NOT
GIVE
UP

You, the clock crew, are the bravest and mightiest men that I have ever met. Wilt thou not fight beside me?

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck the cc does not give about doing anything about anything.

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

Imagine if you will, picture it in your minds eye, the sun VY Canis Majoris, this is what is looks like compared to our sun





this is many times the size of our solar system. Now imagine it was filled with fuck. That is the amount of fuck we do not give. That is our level of inaction and apathy.

[CerealGuy]

You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck the cc does not give about doing anything about anything.

You will just sit idle and allow the corrupt dictatorship this country is becoming to pass SOPA/PIPA?
You cowards!

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

Its not that we're afraid, we easily COULD do something if we banded together as animators and artists and forum invading trolls. But that would require effort on our part. We're kind of like God. In fact we are EXACTLY like God.
