one odd thing megaupload was one of the first to start taking content down when asked to do so. and the american ceo of megaupload is an american rapper. who has not been charged. it was more of an investment for him. than his main way to make money.
I dont know about them looking into safety boxes or driving sales. sales of what. I only know of them selling space.
I really havent used megaupload since the internet was brand new and megaupload was just introduced. I never liked the service itself. I stopped using it early

Turns out Swizz Beatz may not have been a CEO at all.
Anyways, American rapper investor != smart, safe investor (usually).

Hyperbole is, like, the absolute best, most wonderful thing ever! However, you'd be an idiot to not think dogmatism is always bad.

And ACTA (SOPA like thing) is alive in our country (simuateously someone shut down http://www.osa.cz (Copyright Protection Association) in our country). The funny thing is that even our politics haven't said a word to this, as it has been agreed to without us.
Ah... seems to me like "Munich Agreement" - About us, without us.

and this one under the guise of protect children from porn
HR 1981, cynically and misleadingly misnamed "Protect Children Against Internet Pornographers Act" (PCFIPA) requires ISPs to record your every click because you may be a child pornographer. This "turd wrapped in cotton candy" is another fine bill from Lamar Smith (R-TX, 13% approval rating on OpenCongress), the author of SOPA.
Under PCFIPA, your personal history of each web page you have clicked on, or file you have downloaded, would be available to the RIAA for suing music downloaders, to corporations retaliating against critics and whisteblowers, to divorce lawyers looking for dirty laundry, to insurance companies refusing coverage for prior conditions, to blackmailers, to hackers, etc, etc.
