BT Junkie has been shut down after Megaupload shut down by feds and Kim Dot arrested.
Seems like the law is closing in on file sharing. I suppose the end is near and we'll have to find other ways to get TV shows. That is going to suck. |

Nah... they just move their operations and residences to places that don't have extradition treaties with the US.
It is also unclear whether or not Kim Dotcom will ever be sent to the States to face trial since he never was in the States to commit the crime.
He was a NZ resident, the operations and company were in HK and he is a citizen of the EU (Germany).
The US claims to jurisdiction are tenuous at best and border on the absurd.
Hard to see where any US court would have valid jurisdiction over the matter.
Even harder to see how a NZ court can justify doing anything other than deport him back to Germany (the crimes weren't committed in NZ either).
Terrorism the American way.
