FYI: US prosecutors shut down one of world’s largest file-sharing sites, Megaupload
Just a head's up, Megaupload is gone.

....so...does anyone have the "DL Lost Fics Here" all backed up somewhere?
ETA: It seems that a few people have those fics all backed up. A couple people are also willing to set up DL archives inside of their own websites. See the comments for more details.

But wait, am I understanding the article correctly? That several of the megaupload people have been indicted, but it wasn't actually the feds who shut it down? It seems to be suggesting that the "Anonymous" hackers did that.
