The point is that no one can acuse you on anything for a tone of reasons.

First - how could someone know did the "downloader" really knew what was downloaded in that moment?

Second - I am pretty sure that all the courts and DAs of this world couldnt process all the cases.

Third - if someone only tries something like that it will make huge problems, as I am pretty sure that most of FBI agents which worked on the case actually used some of those material for themselves etc...

Conclussion is - dont make panic without a cause.

I don't see why i would have any reason to panic considering i never downloaded anything from megaupload except for a couple of photos my friend sent me, of course the courts won't be able to process all of this, but it's not really up to them is it?

I don't really have time to write 50 pages of text right now...

Anyways, here's something that made me freaking disgusted...


At 9:30am EST federal agents raided a home in Malvern, PA. The suspect is accused of making Mickey Mouse (TM) shaped pancakes for his children. If convicted he faces 10 years in prison and up to $150,000 for each pancake consumed. Pancake mix provider Bisquick has made no statement at this time, but may be liable for damages in excess of $5 million dollars.

The link above argues that Megaupload was taken down to protect the record companies from legitimate and legal competition. Scary if true.

First - my question was about "Mickey Mouse shaped cookies". Second - there is only a news from someones blog? That isnt very reliable, you know...

Yes, it is on a blog, which may or may not be reliable. That is why I said, "if true" and that the posting "argues". I did not state that it is correct, since I have no clue. Fact is, if accurate, it is very scary and honestly it would be consistent with recent US government actions, in my opinion only.
