Yes, but the employees have mouths to feed as well...they only do what the higher ups tell them to.
I *know* that OCN claims MegaUpload was legit, but I'm betting millions upon millions of files were illegal forms of movies/tv shows/books, etc. so they deserve to go and stay down. As for the people who want their files, sorry...but you should have chosen a better file host for your "legal" files.
Bravo MPAA!

Seriously.. are you a mouthpiece for these guys or what? This is the 2nd time this week you've made a asanine post like this. I don't know what you could have possibly done to earn the 1 rep, but if I could un-rep... I would.
MPAA looking out for "the good of the country"... are you out of your mind? In what world do you live in... they aren't even looking out for the good of the artists/actors/etc represented in these works. They ONLY care about their money. No one and no thing else matter. Same goes for the RIAA, if not doubly so.
The employees are just 'doing their jobs'... great good for them. Some may believe in their work, others may feel it goes against what they were hired on to do years back. Most in ANY job are afraid to stand up when they are challenged, so the work continues against their better judgement. That does not in ANY way condone it.
I swear... the day you make a completely coherent and actually informed post, I'll rep you myself. I doubt I'll see that though.
You may want to consider changing your screenname too... since you made Apple a proper noun by capitalizing it you could be infringing upon Apple copyright in due time since you didn't get authorization to use their image or reputation to reflect yourself. I'm only half kidding here... other companies have done it for crazy reasons.
