I've done some light research on this because megaupload was my main download/upload website. I had a subscription with them that still had quite a few months to go. Here is what I understand: (1) When a movie is ripped, thousands of people upload that exact same file to megaupload. (2) Hollywood contacts megaupload, asks them to remove it. (3) There seems to be some mechanism within megaupload that identifies identical files within their servers. This means, if they find a movie file, they can delete ALL copies of it on their servers. (4) Megaupload removes the single Hollywood reported, NOT all of the files. (5) This effectively does nothing to stop piracy. (6) There are various chatlogs, emails and recorded conversations of various megaupload employees downloading and even uploading pirated files ith no repercussions from the higher-ups (in fact, it seems it was encouraged). Again, I don't know all the details but this is what I have been able to gather. A lot of this information is hearsay because there is still no confirmation of WHAT the government has against megaupload or how this information was obtained. Download websites like fileserve who have a similar model to that of megaupload are scared and have severely restricted what users can do till this issue is resolved, or till they move their servers/domain away from the US.

We've disabled Bacsojin Cards on the map schg_cas01. Any equipment with Bacsojin Cards in it will be unequipable. We will test it this friday to see how it unfolds. We can always revert it back to how it was previously if it doesn't work.

Can we have sex changing in exchange of zeny? PLEASE! :D

Hello! First of all, welcome to the team! We're really happy to have new faces joining us and hope you all will work hard to better the server. It's especially important for you all to be hosting events, and lots of them! Every new GM should be hosting at least 1 event EVERY day! If you're not showing motivation and doing everything you can to be active, we will have no choice but to kick you very fast. If you are already hosting a lot, great work and keep it up! Out of lots of applicants, we chose you guys because we felt you would be the most active and helpful. If you're not going to be hosting events everyday, we'll have to give your position to one of the many other qualified applicants who would be more than happy to host.

how can you abuse changing your sex?

I'm glad you pointed that out ... The U.S. is getting way to comfortable with indefinite detentions and withholding evidence/info in a lot of the new bills/laws they're trying to pass in the name of ''protecting our freedom''. With as big of a show as they put on making these arrests, you'd think they'd have something to say or some proof to support their actions. The sad/ironic thing IMO .. Most or all of their evidence had to be obtained by hacking, stealing, or spying, all of which is illegal if I remember correctly. :) OH YEA >>>> The other day I saw my first "This video is not viewable in your country" message on YouTube. This video wasn't filmed in a cave promoting anti-US behavoirs, it wasn't a hate-fueled speech against a particular race/religion, it wasn't underaged pornography, and it wasn't a call to arms from some anonymous hacking group. This was a low-quality music video from the 90's. (the REAL irony is that the music video is the only one of these that you CAN'T access) Now, I don't want to sound priviledged, but I've been taught and raised to be American where we generally believe that we are priviledged. I never thought we'd wind up behind some fence where we were told what we can and can't see.

Under short and unrelated notice I have chosen to distant myself from this server. Due to my leave, I resign my stand on this situation. In short: Do whatever you want, I'm out. :D PEACE!

It will be interesting to see how Rapidshare handles the next round of litigation, since they're touting their transparency and also the fact that they're the next biggest competitor. I am very much against SOPA/PIPA, as I'm pretty sure it's just a excuse for expanding governmental power under the guise of 'copyright protection.' The bIll is so loosely defined that it gives the government leeway to shut down anything it defines as dangerous. Thank god it's been tabled for the time being. What we really have to worry about now is ACTA.
