    Apple Co-Founder - MegaUpload just a 'Post Office', shouldn't be Shut Down



    Quote from Steve Wozniak:-

    "If someone commits a crime shipping drugs on the sea, you don't drain the sea and say the sea is the problem. If they are mailing drugs through the post office you don't shut the post office down you try to get the people who are doing the wrong steps."

            File lockers as a business model are not the problem. The same can be said for tube sites.

            It's ultimately how that technology is being used that is the problem. That is his point.

                  Woz is taking Kim Dotcom's word for it that Megaupload and its staff were not directly involved in any infringement, and didn't do anything that could be construed as encouraging or inducing infringement.

                  Many of Dotcom's critics are taking the government's word for it that the investigation uncovered all sorts of evidence to the contrary.

                  IMO, it's a bit soon to be taking either side at its word with respect to what the evidence does, or does not, prove.

                  As I see it, neither the DOJ nor Kim Dotcom has a record of truth-telling that is particularly impressive, so I'll wait for both parties to put all their cards on the table (should it ever come to that) before I decide who is more full of shit between the two.

                    To be fair, I imagine they both are full of shit. But the Feds fucked up and Kim will walk.

                      I am not saying there are not flaws in the imperfect system.

                      But just because someone owns a gun, doesn't mean it's only use is to kill people. Just because someone owns a VCR, doesn't mean it's only use is to make copies and sell in china. RapidShare can be used for legitimate purposes.

                        Yep I aggree with you lol, they should have gone after some of the big copyright uploaders and made a spectacle out of them to scare others from doing it, but with them arresting the owner and shutting the site down, if he walks its gonna give out a signal to alot of people that they have the green light to open file lockers and do the same

                            If you could open up a file locker with a check from McDonalds, half of GFY would be doing it. However, the infrastructure can be pretty intensive to run a good one, especially if it grows fast and scales.

                            That being said, most technology can be used for bad intended things. Doesn't really even need to be online as there are many examples in daily life. However, I think that was what Woz's point was.

                            I am not saying he should get off scott-free. But I think they need to be persecuting the INTENT, not the technology.

                                  I bet he would be against me opening a site that allowed the anonymous sale of Chinese Macintosh, Ipad, Iphone counterfeits that were exactly like Apple's? Megaalmostmacmarket.com. I would allow the selling of real macs there, so I would be innocent of a crime since there would be real legit uses of the tech.

                                    You may well be right about that; time will tell.

                                    My understanding is that it isn't entirely cut and dry whether the mistakes and procedural errors associated with the raid necessarily undercut the whole case against Dotcom. The U.S. DOJ maintains that it has enough evidence that was collected entirely separate from the raid to make its case, and I believe the U.S. is asking the Auckland court to extradite on that basis, irrespective of the legality of the raid, or of the warrants issued in connection with that raid.

                                    All I know is that the U.S. case law and relevant rules of evidence at issue are beyond my comprehension.... and I know even less about NZ legal standards, so I'm going to abstain from making any predictions on this one, either way. ;-)

                                      But what percentage of the Post Office mail is used to violate the law? What percentage of the ocean is being used to violate the law? Probably less than 1%.

                                      What percentage of MegaUpload content was violating copyright law?

                                      His analogy doesn't really make sense here. I promise you if 50% of the mail carried by the post office was illegal, there would be HUGE calls to shut it down or regulate it.

                                      MegaUpload isn't some special new technology that must be protected. There are countless legitimate places to upload your personal files, pictures, videos, back-ups, etc. Nobody is calling to shut those down. MegaUpload is simply the result of a guy seeing a loophole in a changing landscape and cashing in before laws and society caught up.

                                          There are Chinese trading sites who sell a lot of counterfeit stuff including some of what you mentioned above

                                            This thread is irrelevant. GFY's thoughts on piracy are largely irrelevant.

                                            Manwin posts on GFY - The same people who are frothing at the mouth over Kim Dot Com and MegaUpload are the same people licking Manwin's balls over their latest acquisition, site, or gesture to the industry.

                                            I'd be willing to guess that at least one person in this thread (or others like it) slamming MegaUpload have praised Manwin in their past threads....including the recent 5-6 pager for Babes.com.

                                                  Yes, there are laws protecting his stuff. We need some for ours that have teeth. Do you believe megaupload does not have the intent of allowing copyright infringement? Do we believe the growth and earnings is not primarily derived from illegal activity? We need laws that will stop companies that do this.

                                                    Yeah, right. He should give it all away. No more US festival because he was losing the stuff that wasn't motivating him.

                                                              I believe it's hard for file lockers who have affiliate programs for uploading content, and then 90% of their clients are uploading mass volumes of content, and it turns out to be copyright violations and DMCA notices all day long... to justify their motives and claim to be innocent.

                                                              I think any owner would find it hard to justify their true INTENT. Especially when the file locker is directly tied to feeding their forums and other sites. There are a number of ways to help prevent this. However, few seem to want to implement them because it would chase away their darkie uploaders

                                                                      MegaUpload isn't some special new technology that must be protected. There are countless legitimate places to upload your personal files, pictures, videos, back-ups, etc. Nobody is calling to shut those down. MegaUpload is simply the result of a guy seeing a loophole in a changing landscape and cashing in before laws and society caught up.

The fact is megaupload caters to these types of people and knows they are their and does nothing to stop them. It is called Aiding and Abetting. That is a crime Mr. Apple Co-Founder.
