Uploaded.to blocks all US traffic in response to Megaupload takedown

[Thesolcity]

Amended the first post with FileSonic, can anyone confirm if its US only or worldwide?

This is only hurting us the "pirates, seeing as shutting down these types of websites is exactly what the goveremnt wants.

I can get to uploaded.to haven't tested anything, but i get a normal looking page.

And Filesonic is the same as US situation. Works but no sharing.

So FileSonic looks normal for you?

This is only hurting us the "pirates" and "Legitimate File Sharers", seeing as shutting down these types of websites is exactly what Hollywood and big media wants.

Fix'd.

I was thinking "aw dammit they're gonna block Cana-...nope."
Nice. JUST the US, not North America like I figured when I saw this (people like to lump us together).

Pretty sure, but I somehow doubt too many sites will follow suit. Just the more nervous of the bunch.

^ What I was thinking

Yay Canada

Well correct me in I'm wrong, but in Canada can't you download whatever (With the exception of CERTAIN items. @[member='s4mid4re'] ) as long as its only for personal use? In places like there and Sweden file sharing sites wouldn't be afflicted by laws such as the ones here.

What happens when other, non file sharing, sites jump on the wagon and start blocking US ip address, just for the hell of it, of because they don't like the USA, or for what ever reason?

Then they wilingly lose money? BUT even if so, the only sites remaining would essentially be big corporation sites. (a.k.a. What the SOPA/PIPA/Yougetthedeal sponsors want).

Welp, time to start using one of those 4chan ftp servers I've heard so much about for my anime.
That or torrents, whatever.

 

[jalaneme]

holy crap, it wont be long before all of them go what will people do then and i don't care about filesonic tbh their capacha thing annoyed me.

 

[stomp_442]

The day that I cannot find the internet intresting anymore is the day I get my internet turned off.

 

[stinkoman]

holy crap, it wont be long before all of them go what will people do then

Private FTP, Usenet, private torrent trackers, P2P filesharing, etc.
The only people that will be fucked are the people with legitimate uses for these things.

 

[Valwin]

uploadhere.com also down ?

I really hope this isn't going to be a trend.

Same here, but it's beginning to look that way.

They are going to start merging users to trap servers / torrents then build up their database of "Everything we got against you" just in-case your skills are needed.

Hmm, if you can't afford a VPN, you can post and download files from the Postman on I2P.

You should watch the Prisoner movie... After watching the original series. They're ALL spying on each other. It's like a snake eating it's own tale on that show. It would be interesting to see how the Internet would imitate it like you talk about.

uploaded wasnt as famous and they feel its a US issue but it isnt, its a worldwide problem.

AFAIK, It's actually legal to download and burn music for Private use. Although, uploading movies is illegal, it's kinda blurry in the downloading section and I presume it's the same for warez
