Well.. It was going to happen someday. I'm okay with them shutting down filesharing sites like megaupload, because a lot of the files were files you had to buy if you couldnt find them on the internet. IMO that's their right. We are gonna be shrewed in many years, if you keep on downloading everything you want. Then the makers get no money and might not afford the next game/movie/whatever it is.
i bought lic manga when i had a job, screwed me over 2000+ dollars that could have been 500 or less, f**k the lic companies and there over priced series, why i switched to the japanese volumes despite not knowing any japanese.
like hell id buy the s**ty hollywood movies, there bad, anything worth watching is to old to sell. holly wood actors are horrible, writers never even seen a good movie, and they use cg's for almost everything, the cost for movies should be at a all time low but the prices always rise,($5 for a day rental on demand) its not because of piracy, i dont hear anything about these multi million dollars companies suffering, only b**ching. like hell if these companies started making more money they would choose to make less by lowering the prices, like how they'd make less by paying there fair share in the first place.
i buy every single game i have except visual novels/japanese pc games, because the japanese hate american consumers for some reason and refuses to sell most of there products overseas. with over 250 ps1-2-3/game cube/xbox-360/psp games (and the 300+ i sold to eb (for a f**ked up rip off of its actual price)) ive easily spent over 5000 on games though ive cut down a lot with no income for the last 2 years. (oh and dont have the ps3 atm, ps2 (both) broke down no money for another, game cube broke, xbox broke, xbox 360 needs a 125 dollar hardrive to play xbox games(microsoft screwed me over with this and the batter pack), otherwise i only have 4 games for the xbobx so ya screwed there)
for music i absolutely hate the music companies and absolutely refuse to hand them money. 99% of there music is trash to me, rehashed crap that pales in comparison to its predecessor. at this point the only music i listen to is instrumental remixes of other anime/touhou songs tammusic for example. if i ever do listen to company owned music its most likely kpop off the psp radio system or occasionally youtube videos (the user uploaded ones if i can).
but as i said b4 i dont have a job, haven't for awhile, in a place where theres 10 people for every job and every businessmen is looking for only trained supervisors-managers im pretty screwed, japan has it f**ked up too but id rather try my luck there at this point (with no current japanese skills beyond 1 semester of japanese, knowing hiragana/katakana only, i only have 1 class left b4 i have no more classes, school canceled a lot of its none core classes) so ya, even "IF" i got money i wouldn't give them any money and id think the same would go for most of the ppl here, they cant afford lic manga's ridiculous prices, thats why those lic companies are crashing.
and i never learned from my mistakes 
... Anyway, because of it i seriously thought of storing all important infos in a server as MU, fileshare...etc. I was thinking that it will save my important data from anything that could happen (except a mega virus that kills internet), but with what happened now with MU i can not trust any sharing server...
