On Thursday, the FBI and other US-based law enforcement officials effectively shuttered MegaUpload, while detaining top executives at the company.

At last count, 7 were indicted, with the New York Times reporting that 3 executives remain at large. (more...)

"RapidShare AG was founded in Switzerland and in fact, it was always located at the address given in the company details and was always run under real names without any anonymous intermediate businesses," RapidShare CEO Alexandra Zwingli told Ars Technica. "The radical measures against MegaUpload were apparently required since the situation there had been totally different."Adakah ini bakal mengundang kemarahan dari puak-puak penggodam seantero dunia sepertimana yang berlaku di Malaysia sebaiksahaja SKMM menutup akses ke web-web tersebut? Well... now it is different. Kalau dulu kita masih boleh mengakses web tersebut dengan menggunakan open DNS dan sebagainya tapi nampaknya kini tidak lagi.
Dan yang pasti, Norman KRU dan RIM pasti antara orang yang paling happy buat masa ini.
