>For the past 24 hours the hugely popular MegaUpload file-hosting service has been rendered inaccessible across many countries around the world. With the United States government ‘Cyber Monday’ domain seizures fresh in everyone’s mind, fingerpointing has been directed at the U.S. authorities. The problems, however, seem to be rooted with the site’s domain registrar since they appear to have ‘seized’ MegaUpload’s DNS records following a dispute.

I can access it just fine. Herp derp.

>>21348674
you know that any actual DNS seizure undertaken by the US is likely to affect us too as we are so closely networked. And considering we signed on to ACTA that probably won't change...

Confirmed not working with Time Warner DNS in mid-west United States.

Confirmed working with Google DNS.

ITT: Noone read the whole article.


They'll be back up.

I don't like that my ISP's nameserver is blocking things. This is scary.

>>21348863
The government is the bitch of large corporations.

>>21348863
scary but, not unforeseeable, in fact I'm surprised this sort of thing hasn't happened more often and sooner, given that most internet providers are part of some anagram that thinks their losing money to piracy

torrentfreak is a gossip blog, i can't believe the semi-intelligent users of /g/ buy into their bullshit

>>21348430
ISPs didn't block domains before, because they would of lost their clients.

Ahh okay. I thought I was fucking banned or something...since proxies were working fine

>>21349088
Like they could get something out of bullshiting everybody.

Enjoy your DMCA letters, idiots.

>>21349106

You won't get DMCA letters because you're using their name servers, you get letters from traffic inspection.

Stop that. Goddamn.

It's "would've" or "would have"

Changing DNS...

Even jokingly, you're gonna hear from 'em, guaranteed.

Switched to Google and OpenDNS about a week ago. Thank god.

>>21349195
ME!!

Fuck, changing DNS servers isnt going to help, once the registrar changes the nameservers and dns records this will propagate to all DNS servers.

all the filelockers are going to be shut down by the US government and the great firewall of america will be forced on every other country by the US. tis the beginning of the end of the golden age of the internet my friends.

>>21349217
I just pictured a bunch of leejun trying to sneak into the white house with those horribly outstanding masks on, failing miserably.

Anyway, thanks for the mental image.

>>21349260
Google DNS probably will not have this problem. Why? They fucking hate SOPA and any censorship that goes along with it.

Or it won't effect them until they get forced into doing it by the courts, at least.

Load of bullshit.

Megaupload is one of hundreds. When all of them are inaccessible, then I'll don my tin-foil hat.

>>21349339
You are the reason this happened.

As long as they don't mess with Mediafire then it's all good.

Host files here we come again.
Fuck murrica.

>>21349326
>Google DNS probably will not have this problem. Why? They fucking hate SOPA and any censorship that goes along with it

Google /abandoned/ the Chinese market because of censorship. They left. Entirely. It was big news.

>mfw its down for me

AT&T West Coast: Online

>mfw americancensorship.org was "DOWN FOREVER"

I would just wait longer. If it's down for like 3 days then, yeah, it's gone for good. Seeing that some people can connect to it makes me think it's just something wrong on their end.

Telmex here. Can connect.

>>21349326

Thats not how DNS works (as far as my understanding goes) they change the nameservers on the registrant level, which points to the DNS records for that domain, which contain all the dns, "A" record "CNAME" "PTR", etc

Once they change the nameserver and or the underlying dns, it will propagate to all dns servers over the world.

It is like when you change MX records for a domain, it takes a while for it to propagate to other dns servers and mail starts resolving.

I'm on Crapcast in the US, Megaupload is fine.

and so it begins... TO WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>mfw piracy goes back to private FTP servers

>>21349629

Daddy whats an FTP server?

Works fine in Australia, and you guys made fun of us for having censored internet (which never happened).

>>21349608

Works fine for me too. However read over their user agreement again.

I think you'll notice a few..Changes.

>mfw it now says this:

>Please be aware Megaupload reserves the right to cancel any account or transmission they find in violation of any of the above policies. If appropriate, Megaupload will refer complaints to law enforcement authorities, and in such case, Megaupload will actively assist law enforcement agencies with the investigation and prosecution of any such activities, including surrendering Customer account and data information.

>>21349654
From the looks of this thread the site is still up in the US.

>>21349655
basically means if they get a copyright violation notice and it's legit, then they're not gonna cover for you. don't really see anything wrong with that

>>21349662
>>21349654

No, it just depends on whether the DNS records have propagated to your DNS provider. I live in Australia and megaupload.com doesn't resolve for me.

>>21349682
What iso are you with? I'm with TPG and it works.

>>21349682

Backbone of the internet is in the US.

Also it all passes through bob page in area 51

Guys this has nothing to do with the US government. If it was then no US people would be able to access the site. Megaupload is getting buttfucked by someone on their end.

<conspiracy> or maybe this is a test run for SOPA...</conspiracy>

Funny, I never had any outage with Megaupload. It's up right now and I downloaded some shit from it at like 5pm...East Coast USA here.

>>21349676

I see it this way.

Now lets disregard that this bill is a huge breach of privacy. Let's say that it actually WILL crack down on crime "Lol it won't" why do you think this bill is in place?

Well let's look at who the big badasses that should be catching this criminals in the first place.

The FBI and other authorities of the like. This bill is the side effect of them being so damn incapable. They wave their dicks around like their the big tough guy on the block, but at the end of the day they can't even catch some kids behind a mask and uploading material.

Why should we be punished at not the fucktards who fail to catch these losers non stop?

THAT is what pisses me off about this bill. And don't even feed me that "If you aren't guilty you have nothing to hide" bullshit. They can abuse this bill and they will.

Want more proof that this is their mentality? Pic related. The bill hasn't even passed yet and this is already the tyrannical crap they are pulling.

This bill isn't anything to joke about. It's China's inter as we know it.

>>21349723
How was this allowed to happen? What gives the US government the right to shut down websites anywhere in the world?

>>21349763
They don't. So long as the internet is connected even if the domain names are seized you can simply connect directly to the IP. Most laymen don't know that, but they don't deserve to access the site if they aren't tech savvy enough to find it's IP somehow.

>>21349763

Dealwithit.jpg

We created the internet, we keep the keys to it.

>>21349792

>We

That asshole attitude is what keeps digging you idiots deeper and deeper.

shit i was going to bed but if megaupload is going down i need to DL the porn files i havent downloaded yet...

i think megaupload changed nameservers and it is just taking a while for the new dns to propagate... nobody's ISP is blocking megaupload... if you cant access megaupload it just means the new dns hasn't propagated to your ISP's dns server yet... wait a day or two and it will work, or just switch to a more robust dns (google, opendns) if you are impatient.

>>21349792
Yo can't be trusted with it.

>>21349786
I know you can connect the IP, but once they take down the domain the site is effectively offline as far as search engines and user are concerned.

>>21349812
>>21349834

Well then maybe your country should create something useful and then you guys can choose how its run.

>>21349847

I live in America dumbass. I believe i'm entitled to the opinion just as much as you are.

>>21349864

You're not an american. You're a pussy like the rest of them. Why don't you move to canada where the rest of the fags go?

>Sites in protest of SOPA and ProtectIP change their DNS servers to make it appear as if they were taken down
>Everyone flips their shit

>>21349792
Some of the initial infrastructure was invented in the US. That doesn't give the US the right to own it.
You kids and your nationalism.

>>21349875

That's not a bad idea. Maybe i can pack up my bags and go to a country where the internet isn't censored by fags with no backbone to stand up to their own government.

What happened to you America? You used to be cool. Now you're just full of egotistical fuckwits who think we're invincible.

>>21349885
Actually since we own the corporation who is in charge of handling DNS servers for the world, yes we kind of do that the authority to do this kind of thing.
Does that mean it's right? No. But people going "lol murrkia i'll enjoy my free einternet" are retarded since they don't seem to know (or care) that this affects them.

Ah yes, the typical low-standard "my country is better than yours" argument.

>2011 and still thinking that imaginary political lines somehow have predetermined a person's intelligence or a group of people's ability to be creative.

>>21349847
>>21349875

>>21349847
Do you realise that most of what you have was invented outside of the US?

>>21349888

We are invincible. We have over 1000 nukes and plenty of toys to send them in on. Come at us bro!

>itt: people don't know how DNS servers work

>>21349931

Info goes in, info goes out. You can't explain that!

>>21349908
I know that gives them the legal right. It just doesn't give them a moral right. It shouldn't really give them a legal right either though.

>>21349921
Nearly all modern inventions are American. Even shit that are commonly attributed to Europeans were actually invented by Americans, such as the radio and the internet. (The first was stolen by Marconi from Nikola Tesla, who was later given credit by international courts as Marconi had stolen 14 Tesla patents to make his ripoff radio. The second is often credited to Tim Berners Lee and CERN, neither or which invented the internet. They made the hyper text transfer protocol, one of many protocols used on the internet.)

>>21349954
Never a miscommunication.

>>21349109
Not sure if serious... correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure your ISP can see everything you are doing regardless if you are using a 3rd party DNS.

>>21349962
Europeans had the first computer network which is what ARPA based their ARPANet on.

>>21349989

Incorrect. First computer network was made at UCLA Berkley in 1969.

> The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks.

>The first two nodes of what would become the ARPANET were interconnected between Leonard Kleinrock's Network Measurement Center at the UCLA's School of Engineering and Applied Science and Douglas Engelbart's NLS system at SRI International (SRI) in Menlo Park, California, on 29 October 1969

I wish you Eurofags would stop claiming British innovation as European. Deal with the fact that Britain, Germany, the US and Japan invented almost everything in the time since the industrial revolution.
