Megaupload Drops Lawsuit Against Universal Music

Posted by samzenpus on from the on-second-thought dept.

bs0d3 writes "Not so long ago, a legal video was taken down by repetitive DMCA requests to YouTube. In response, Megaupload filed a lawsuit against Universal Music. This past week, Megaupload was raided by U.S. authorities and forced offline, which is costing Megaupload millions of dollars in damage. Today; while employees are in U.S. custody, Megaupload has mysteriously dropped their lawsuit against Universal Music."

    DMCA provided a mechanism for people to complain about copyright problems to the site owners in a reasonable and calm fashion. in the 'rest of the world', there is the rule of the fist, and copyright violations mean nothing - which by the way, means the GPL means nothing, because its entire existence is based on copyright law.

    the only people who complain about the 'draconian DMCA' are fucktards who never actually create or build anything themselves.
