Is it responsible filesharing propaganda, pro-piracy propaganda, or anti-anti-piracy propaganda?

 

Don't have a clue as to how to embed the video, but warning, you can't un-see or un-hear it once you click on that link.

MegaUpload basically caught out the RIAA in legal entrapment. Busted them doing something they shouldn't have been doing.

 

 

RIAA is known for using bots on Youtube to report videos tagged with RIAA-affiliated artists, though this have never been publicly acknowledged.

 

MegaUpload got a whole bunch of RIAA-affiliated artists to sing in a song promoting what is, quite possibly, the largest direct-download file-sharing system currently running. They made a video of their song and uploaded it to Youtube, tagging the video with all those artists.

 

RIAA bots got the video removed, and the RIAA is claiming that the song violates copyright, even though the song is 100% original and 100% owned by MegaUpload. They even have the legal documents to prove it.

 

MegaUpload offered the RIAA to apologise:

  • Now, if the RIAA apologises for the removal, they basically admit they scour Youtube and get videos/songs removed using bots. This gives MegaUpload (and other companies) legal leverage for any future lawsuits.
  • If the RIAA doesn't apologise, MegaUpload can sue for infringing on and illegally blocking their "marketing campaign".

 

 

 

lol

My favorite theory is the idea that all the stars involved don't realize how easy and anonymous it is to fileshare using megaupload. Maybe their publicists/handlers said "hey, $5,000 endorsement deal for this thing called megaupload....just say, 'I love megaupload'".

If this were the case, it could be the greatest pro-troll in history.

 

Oh they know what MegaUpload is used for...
