| The owner of Megaupload, a well know torrent site that died recently got fifty years in the federal prison system for piracy, while a man who raped and mutilated a woman only received twenty years. WTF? | |

| Yeah when I first read that I was like wut. But if you thin about how much potential sales he stopped from happening. At least like 8 million I would think. | |

So the message here is that money and sales are more important than actual people who were brutalized and scarred physically and emotionally for life? I don't agree with torrenting, but the MPAA and all of those other organizations are worse than the torrenters imo. | |

| isn't megaupload user-driven? which means that it wasn't even megaupload's fault. but then again, they probably didn't remove copyrighted stuff and that. still, it's nowhere near as bad as rape. | |
