The media will never do anything about it. If you look at the SOPA PIPA debate and rebellion, it took shutting down government phone switches before any news organizations even mentioned it. When they did speak it was seriously misleading. These are news organizations that rely on things remaining as they are.
The more likely scenario is, in the next 10 years we will reach the point where enough people are getting their news from alternate sources, to tip the tide. Google plus, Facebook, blogs, RSS feeds, etc will all play their part.
There is this thing called a remote. It has this other thing called a mute button, I use it on every commercial, as do many other people. There is no difference.
"including some questions about how random the random key generation really was, as well as significant concerns about Mega's claims that it offered deduplification"
The deduplication can be something as simple as a CRC checksum being generated pre-encryption. If they use a one way hash on it, generate a distinct hash key per user, and only link that to the specific users account. I do not see a problem.
If however this is system wide deduplication, it opens them up to more of the same DOJ BS they were nailed with before.
"So you beat back SOPA and are ending up in much the same place, except the screws will continue to tighten and there's no judicial oversight. Nice work!!"
There is the ability to throw class action lawsuits at the companies that have forced to do this.
With the rate of mental health issues in the world, these IP types should be really scared.
Statistically speaking, one of these days, someone that was tormented the way Aaron Swartz was, will realize where the torment is coming from. They will then walk into the Oscars, ASCAP, MPAA, or RIAA and nuke the fuckers.
After which, in an ideal world, this bullying by prosecutors will be made illegal. With the way US Govt works, more than likely, laws will be enacted against targeting content types instead.
That lack of true response, and political BS answers is the reason for 4chan's involvement in the first place. I fully expect this to go i-nuclear and require 1,000,000 signatures by next year.
"Kim Dotcom is coming out of this never looking better. His image is vastly improved from when this whole case began."
It is odd living in a nation run by a bunch of Forrest Gump wanna be's. If this was 10 years ago I would of asked if the DOJ was paid off by Kim Dotcom. Now I know it is just plain stupidity on the federal governments side.
We should push for world law that limits copyright to a certain number of years. Wow ... that is scary. Mickey Mouse in the public domain, in under ninety five thousand years.
"hitting a fire alarm in a crowded building and causing several people to be trampled to death, and causing terror in many others is a form of TERROR ATTACK"
Your argument is idiotic. Comparing blocking access and entry in to a building, and block access to the exits, are two different things.
