This is a travesty!!! To shut down one of the world largest file-sharing sites at a time when everyone is fighting so hard to keep the freedom if choice on the internet & stop SOPA!!! This is a slap in the face to just do this inspite of protests against such actions & shut it down without warning to all the people who were using it!
Sure, "some people" may be using it illegally, but many were using it as a way to back up their files in case of a hard-drive crash or away to share home-videos with their friends & family!
If you are as outraged by this as I am & would like MegaUpload.com revived & your files brought back, sign here!
We must send a message before this goes any further! Today it was MegaUpload.com, tomorrow, it could be youtube, veoh, photobucket, or facebook... & someday maybe.. The Whole World Wide Web!! Don't let the US turn into Communist China, send a message & take back MegaUpload.com!!! Free File Sharing for the people!!!

I really never imagined this many people felt just as frustrated as I do about what happened. It is honestly overwhelming to see this level of momentum and I am just humbled that you all are standing behind this cause with me.

The United States Government had no right to shut this website down, especially after the defeat of SOPA and PIPA
Ridiculous that they can just kill a site like that. SOPA was supposed to be dead but they keep trying to lock down the web anyway.
This is total bullshit. My files were on there and now they are just gone? Not cool at all.
i had so many family photos saved there. thanks for nothing feds.
BRING IT BACK! The government needs to stay out of our stuff. They are going way too far with this control.
Buleah
We have the legal right to internet freedom. Bring it back.

I believe in the right to share music and other such files through the use of files sharing. File sharing is an important part of art and anyone who says otherwise can do one. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!
