Pop Artists Support Megaupload; Universal Censors

Posted by Soulskill on from the conflict-of-interest dept.

New submitter TheSHAD0W writes "Several well-known artists, including P. Diddy, Will.I.Am, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West produced a song in support of the site Megaupload, recently targeted by law enforcement as a 'rogue site.' The music video was gaining popularity — until YouTube received a takedown notice from Universal Media Group, claiming it violated their copyrights."

    Vain, self indulgent rappers supporting a warez site? How odd is this especially since one of the key figures running Megaupload is a criminal.
