PSA of the Day: Megaupload shuttered by the feds! Its employees arrested overseas! Its multimillion-dollar assets seized! Its archenemies brought down by Anonymous! Its CEO… is Alicia Keys husband?!

We’re following the developing drama over at TDW: Geek, and you should too.

Looking at the facts behind this, this seems totally okay with me. Sounds like a bunch of fat cats knowingly taking people’s money for material that did not belong to them. I’m hugely against SOPA and PIPA but this site is just blatant about large scale pirating, and once again, profiting from it, which I am also against.

For those of you complaining you can’t download shows and whatnot anymore- You’re probably a lot like me. You might not normally watch tv, because most of it is garbage. But there are a few good shows you do love that aren’t available in America, etc. and you love them and want to support them by watching them and being a part of the fandom. 

But why not vote with your dollar? Invest in what you love so that the creators can have the money to make more, or the producers can see the value in it and not cancel it.

That said, I realize supporting entertainment is difficult, what with how record labels and so on work. That absolutely should change too, but that rant is for another post.
