Read the indictment people, it's much more than just about allowing piracy.

I don't agree with hackers targeting government websites and stuff that's just adding fuel to the fire. I do agree with blackout March, that would be AWESOME! I would be super impressed if we could pull that off but unfortunately I don't think we could because #1. people suck #2. people don't realize the actual seriousness of SOPA. I'm glad wikipedia had their blackout because now more people know about it. Before that I couldn't have a conversation with anyone about SOPA cause no one knew what I was talking about...sigh

umm so im here trying to watch a show on other links likes videobb and videozerr and even those arent working.... i use sites like watch-series... and surfthechannel. Would the reasons that these links not work have anything to do with megavideo?!! I normally use putlocker or sockshare if megavideo links aren't available but for this particular show only videobb and videozerr links are available are both are not working.... :( ALSO who knows of any other good sites to watch tv shows?! normally watch-series, works awesome for me.. but..

You can get a netflix trial, and cancel it after a month...worked for me. Also for Videobb try a different browser, and see if it works. Megaupload takes a lot of copyrighted content off though, so don't know why they took them down, most shows i wanted to watch i got a message stating "this has been removed due to copyright infringement" but i guess that's only for new episodes, though all the articles are acknowledging this but stating they only did this if they were under pressure...

America was always a plutocracy since the 60s. "Conspiracy theorists" saw SOPA and PIPA coming years ago and many were laughing at them and calling them "fear mongerers".

Well guess who's laughing at you now.

Let's have 72 minutes of silence for Megaupload and Megavideo.

A website is only as good as its servers. Megavideo was often the #1 video website of choice when looking on a listing site such as watchseries.eu. HOWEVER, now its gone and where do those MILLIONS of viewers turn to? Megavideos faster competitors such as putlocker and sockshare and to a lesser extent all the other posted links. The result of shutting down megavideo is that other streaming sites are dealing with too many people and too much bandwidth. As such those sites are now incredibly slow or may not even load at all.

It may take as long as a month for all the market to adjust to the crazy excess bandwidth (ie new websites and old websites upgrading servers). Until then you may wanna consider torrents.
