Well Megaupload is one from the many websites which makes money which his content which dont belong to. If u remember, 10 years ago it was hard to download a MP3 or a movie.
U must to enter so many dubious websites, to click the banners, to give a hand or a leg for a 320x240 SMR, which download in 4 hours, if u where lucky. And thats why RapidShare,MegaUpload appers and many others websites that give the posibility to easy distribution of files.
So this "owner" from MegaUpload he was making 170 milions dolars from illegal activitys, and he was a slick, with expensive cars and customized numbers. So the key quote:
According to page 25 of the indictment "54. It was further part of the Conspiracy, from at least September 2005 until July 2011, that the Conspiracy provided financial incentives for users to upload infringing copies of popular copyrighted works. The Conspiracy made payments to uploaders who were known to have uploaded infringing copies of copyrighted works."
Thats why he shutdown. Also follows the rest of the sites, after which they will seek to shut down torrent sites. And then Tumblr.
