Got to love the Obama hypocrisy, not.
Wasnt very long ago that Obama praised the Tunisian people and for promoting the freedoms of the internet in the same breath.
No matter what any western leader says, the people have stopped listening and believing them when they realise what exellent criminals they all are.

It's starting to look to me like the US is targeting high profile websites which make a hell of a lot of money and shutting them down and siezing thier funds, because the US is bankrupt. It's the start of the US economy melt down. Next it will be peoples bank accounts. Heads up.

Many of the Megaupload servers were not located in USA and were not .com, .org, .biz, nor .info they were seized by goose stepping US agents under the sole guise they were accepting US Currency therefore the evil Zionist led US agent thugs seized their servers, IT equipment, homes, automobiles and bank account funds.

Motto appears to be to NOT have a USA physically based service and DO NOT accept US Currency AND tell the visitors and customers you don't accept US Currency because of the evil Zionist goose stepping police state actions by the US Gov.

When evil Zionists feel they own the courts which in the west they largely do, such court cases are inherently biased against the defendants from the very beginning.

Su ch will continue until the US dollar is entirely boycotted and the evil Zionist parasites are starved out thru 'lack of funds'.

I get the US is over-stepping their control, but quite frankly RT you chose a bad case. This is a pretty reasonable conviction.

Actually the US does run the internet.. So until other countries start running their own internets, this is all we have
