He was actually butched up for the film. One of the reasons in the book he wanted to be left alone is because people would assault him because he looked like a girl.

"loping jabs and hay makers"

I cringed when reading that. You NEVER want to use a hay maker unless you want to break your own hand if your doing right and your arm if you did it wrong.

I can't really hate them for this one. Megaupload's vast majority of file were all legit and many people used it as a cheap cloud server for their businesses. They also had a huge staff of just over 200 people tying to look at all their files in real time to delete copyrighted content.

This whole thing happed after they got some celebritys to create a song about it. Since a few people in the video winds up having an exlucsivity contract with Unviersal (Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCkI5I8vsBg) they got into one of their fits and said it belonged to them. A false DCMA claim was reported and a judge gave Universal to explain why they owned that song, if they didn't they would face stiff fines and pay megaupload crap ton of cash (story here http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/12/j...

They got pissy like all old media types they filed a crap ton of complaints to the DOJ and they acted. A good summation of why the DOJ and RIAA got into this is here http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/w...

Seeing as Megaupload had a division dedicated to taking down copyrighted material and how this shows just how much the old media is in bed with the government I have to say the more I read about why Anonymous attacked government sites, the more I support them on this issue.

This is only a fraction of what is to come if SOPA and PIPA pass.

Also Megaupload isn't gone type http://109.236.83.66/ into your adress bar. It will be back up soon enoughf.
