because mega upload pays you for putting your content on their site

your arguing that an artist should lose that revenue stream and replace it with a cost.

Would you support a 200% tax on your content to give free money to independent artist


mega upload was profitable and the only reason they disappeared is because the government violated the procedures they were supposed to follow.
