The founder of s file sharing site called Megaupload, is in court as the U.S. Department of Justice seeks to extradite him and other company officials on criminal charges. The site was shut down and seven people were indicted accusing them of operating an "international organized criminal enterprise responsible for massive worldwide online piracy of copyrighted works." Four of the people were charged at the request of the U.S. government. Megaupload, which traffic-tracking service Alexa ranked as the world's 72nd most visited website before it was taken down, allowed users to share and download files -- many of which were copyrighted works made available for download without permission, according to the U.S. authorities.They said the operation had generated more than $175 million in illegal profits through advertising revenue and the sale of premium memberships. Authorities have seized the company's servers and domain names and frozen $50 million in assets. The users of this site could be charged with stealing, and i think people will think twice now about copyrights.
