It still isn't legal though, no matter how much people try to convince themselves otherwise.

Well I guess this is worse than I expected. Hopefully we can recover from this.

Fortunately, mediafire is untouched, and also the only sharing site worth a damn.

FBI didn't touch any site except megaupload.

The rest of those sites are just running scared and in a panic now thinking they'll be next. This is pretty much what I expected to happen tbqh.

Fortunately most of those sites were meh.

It wasn't one specific thing, it was an accumulation of infractions over time. If you are familiar with his posting habits I'm sure you can find several reasons here: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=19455
