Despite Blackout, Feds Still Cracked Down on the Internet

The hugely popular MegaUpload.com website was shut down Thursday and a federal indictment is accusing the sites owners of of costing copyright holders at least $500 million dollars. Megaupload.com allowed its users to upload whatever digital content they wanted and have it hosted and stored there.

The hacker group Anonymous “retaliated” by attacking and shutting down the websites of the MPAA, the DOJ, the RIAA, US Copyright Office, EMI, and the FBI.

To cheer everyone up while the dust settles in the war on uploads, here’s an official music video that was made(in the good ol’ days of December 2011) for Megaupload.com performed by Macy Gray and featuring – Will.i.am, P Diddy, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Kim Kardashian, Lil John, The Game, Floyd Mayweather, Serena Williams, and Ciara.
