>I don't get to cheat and lie and be above the law.
Guess how much money MU made? Here's a hint; it was, according to some dude on reddit, the 13th most popular website on the Internet. Guess who was violating both the spirit and the letter of the law? MegaUpload again. In fact, staff members were actively posting links to pirated files, according to emails.
I have no problem with people not paying for stuff because they think it's too expensive. But by they don't have the right to take stuff for free, especially when they have to violate the rights of others to do so. And copyright is a right. It's even in the name.
