net the article about meg upload they quoted the lawyer for mega upload saying this he dismissed the government's attempt to file criminal charges against his clients saying many of the allegations made are similar to those in the copyright case filed against you tube and that was a civil case and you tube one so i don't know the details but there's just a little bit on that case. moving on earlier this week i got a tweet from. who said just a shot saw your show for the first time great work glad you can be seen in the u.k. now which is a great way for me to tell you with great pleasure that we are now being broadcast internationally so all of our international viewers have another option rather than just online you can watch us five thirty six thirty nine thirty six thirty am if you're in london western europe moscow or new zealand and moving on we had mohamed el area in on the show on friday and someone via you tube we had a great response to it and they said great interview well i think is right on the light at the end of the tunnel keep some powder dry for opportunities just ahea

all right it's friday so now let's wind up with your feedback mega upload the f.b.i. shut it down yesterday it's one of the world's largest file sharing sites the f.b.i. allege copyright violations the u.s. worked with other jurisdictions in at least eight countries across europe hong kong new zealand to make arrests of the founder and associates and oversee raids now one hundred fifty million use this site to upload files make uploads lawyers say the site was shut down with no notice and no opportunity to challenge it so we asked you what you thought about due process and the safety of your files online and of course this is just after we've heard that congress put sopa and pipa the online piracy bills on hold after the blackouts and protests earlier this week so what did you have to say you were tween up a storm michael proc up i hope i got that right said feds really send a public message or message to the public at large with timing of mega uploads action a day after sopa online blackout protest interesting point and anonymous in reaction to mega upload took down

ran mega upload a favorite of pop stars who sing its praises in a promotional video. >> i love mega upload. >> reporter: mega upload was a popular hub for illegally downloaded movies, shows and music costing copyright holders more than $5 mill loin in lopts revenue. the company's lawyer say the charges are without merit. part of mega upload's operation is legitimate. but u.s. law enforcement officials say mega upload allowed people to send links to copyrighted movies. others could then be directed to those links even if the material was copyrighted because officials says mega uploaded did you ply indicated those linked and paid outside people to steer internet traffic to those linkses. that meant people at mega upload knew they had pirated material but. helped distribute it. federal officials shut down mega upload's website. when they did that it, the group from anonymous knocked the justin department's website off line. >> i think we'll see this happening. it's an example of the digital wars that exist all over the world with a whole variety of topics not just copyrighted material. >> rep

take down megaupload dot com they'll show up again it may go upload t.v. or some other non us registered site so you would imagine that they would be more aggressive in doing kind of simultaneous takedowns across the domain space if they knew that they could do it everywhere you also i just think we just have a lot more aggressive action against companies that not only are based overseas but unlike kim dotcom and company may not speak english or be familiar with us law so i think that imposes a much greater burden it's one thing to say you know business is hosted in the us are expected to understand american copyright law and be able to defend themselves in court if you're talking about you know a small startup in billie's or something you know they may not have a lot of us lawyers and a deep understanding of the digital millennium copyright act for him dot com he doesn't really paint himself doesn't come out to be a character that entirely sympathetic when they arrested him with his many lamborghinis and fancy cars matching on matching or c.d.'s benz with

well looks like anybody who has had their personal fire files copyrighted or not saved on make upload could lose that data forever you see when the f.b.i. came in on january nineteenth and raided mega upload in new zealand and detained four people tied to the file sharing site they also froze the accounts of one hundred fifty million registered users even customers of the access to their data which is all stored virtually and they also froze make up loans bank accounts which is important to know because the company hires third parties to store customer data for a fee so inevitably upload can't pay their bills and storage companies carpathia hosting and cogent communications group. for free so they just might start deleting that data as of this thursday february second a letter from u.s. prosecutors announce the data could be deleted as early as this thursday and went on to say the while the us did go through the locker storage company's servers they did not take any information with them they just scanned through them and copied any data that they felt was evidence that the d.o.j. let

had seized the file sharing website mega upload as well as arresting seven people connected to the site that includes kim shits a kim dot com the founder of make upload was a dutch citizen and lives in both hong kong and new zealand and the d.o.j. unsealed a federal indictment yesterday charging those arrested with racketeering money laundering and copyright infringement and the indictment alleges that mega upload and a shell company associated with it cause an estimated five hundred million dollars in copyright losses all of this of course happening just one day after the biggest online protest in history in opposition to sopa and protect ip so what does this entire episode tell us about how the feds plan to apply international criminal procedures to internet policy and what happens to all those people that shared files on this site that weren't copyrighted or legal let's not forget megaupload gets about fifty million hits a day claims four percent of all internet traffic and has an estimated one hundred fifty million users who pay for that service so here to discuss with me is julian

close down sites worldwide that actually far more easier ways than they've managed would make or uploads whether they manage to close that down on a technicality now though i think we would start as i think those who are protesting against the legislation say that it promotes online censorship and disrupts the web architecture it seems like you know you agree with that but then how do you effectively protect people's work on mine. well i think well i mean i think some of the protesters i must say should be making a much stronger case for online freedom than they are doing i think the problem of a lot of the anonymous attacks you know i'm a great campaigner for internet freedom but i think the problem with some of the anonymous attacks is that they're closing down websites themselves affectively fighting things to shit with censorship which is to an extent problematic i think really what we need to do here is really sit down have a debate around how to state the stewards the reason why websites like make your uploads so popular because they provide a fantastic service to users the world o

house websites barrett brown who's worked with anonymous on various operations believes the mega upload shutdown shows the government will take action even without new laws in place. the problem is that the track record of the us and all governments. is such that giving them power to do one thing is almost always interpreted by themselves as a means of giving them power for many other things so and the way that you know the rate on mega upload tides in this opens it shows that even without so already in place here they are already arresting image arresting the owners of mega upload and shutting it down and in the future the very near future as you'll see there will be a number of other groups that will pop up using more more military methods and situation gets worse and then graphically until such point as the notable civil war in the us occurs. now look at what else is making news around the world us our yemen's president. left his nation after a farewell speech in which he apologized for his mistakes and said it's time to hand over power he's leaving the country to have medical treatm

it's called "mega upload," the heavily visited site is said to have 150 million registered users andvisits a day. now, it stands charged with storing and distributing pirated material, and thus robbing copyright holders of more than half a billion dollars. yesterday, the justice department shut it down and released indictments against seven executives. four were arrested at the new zealand mansion of its founder, who goes by the name, "kim dotcom." within hours, the hacker collective called "anonymous" retaliated, shutting down the web sites of the justice deparent and major media groups, including universal music and the motion picture association of america. the government's crackdown came one day after this week's online protests against anti-piracy bills in congress. for more on all of this, we turn to cecilia kang, who's covering it for the "washington post." >> welcome back to the program. it's sounds as it if the website had everything you can imagine, print, video or audio. how did it actually function for it's users? >> it did have all those bits of content. the way it funct

we tell you and i guess against mega upload and then you guys went after a u.s. justice department talked to me about why you picked some of the other websites i think i have a hunch that it might have to do with people and then also what can we expect next and i've been keeping my eyes here on on white house but what's what's on the horizon here will be video us into x. or all the being perpetrated under the banner of. america and so you can you can see the extent to which this was prompted these reactions were prompted by megaupload who got out in about seven minutes and i thought if that's within seventy minutes about. a new status so you've been announced and on this but a press release and or they can do this. and in a few hours so obviously this this could become of the worst time for and sort of the government's standpoint they could not have chosen a worse time to take down the. coming as this is the after all these web sites blacked out in protest of soak in this obviously the make upload issue because of the flaws in the other issues so now in addition

mega upload shutdown shows the government can even take action without the new laws in place. the problem is that the track record of the us and all governments. is such that given the power to do one thing is almost always interpreted by themselves as a means of power. so and the way that you know this that this raid on mega upload causing this opens it shows that even without sopa already in place here they are already arresting and resting the owners of megaupload and shutting it down and in the future a very near future and. there will be a number of other groups that will pop up using more. military not goods situation gets worse and things will escalate until that point as the notable civil war in the us. take a look at some other stories making headlines across the globe in a farewell speech yemen's president ali abdullah saleh apologized for his mistakes and said it's time to hand over power he's leaving yemen to have medical treatment in the u.s. yemen's parliament recently approved immunity from prosecution for a sollie who's been accused of suppressing protests and

better at both getting up to speed to providing better services better than things that make you uploads and also just trace the copyright infringements not close down the whole thing that really is the way of censorship in the authoritarian ism google has said that it's collected more than seven million signatures in the u.s. first time line petitions to congress against the bells how do you see the future of these drafts. well i think the obama administration is getting very very nervous indeed the phone lines the phone systems directly melted in the white house the other day joining the weekend pedia protests and it does seem like they're going to buckle under the pressure but at the same time they didn't go undone they said they arrested people uneasy when they closed down one of the largest websites in the world it doesn't really show that they're listening to public concerns about this and i think what could happen as a result of this going through. even a modified version is the web as we know it's web two point zero which is defined by user generated content with people puts up t

youtube i mean i've talked to people at you tube it is very very hard to police it because so many uploads going on through every hour and we're looking at and through the course of months and years it's a huge number of videos being put up and they and i can i know of a personal example where i asked to have something taken down and within an hour you tube did it. so you tube is an interesting case because it actually i mean it has the resources for you to do things that many other companies might not have so you know that's one thing to keep in mind talking about you tube in terms of the current system that we have you tube is as you just suggested pretty responsive and we do have a system under current law that allows a copyright owner to notify youtube or another side that somebody has uploaded infringing content you tube has a largely automated process for reviewing that and it's able to take down material in response to that site in other words disable access to it pretty quickly in a matter of hours now there are a lot of complaints about perhaps too much content is being taken down
