Yep. The FBI are probably enjoying them as we speak XD Who knew they were Hornblower fans?! I have the originals on my laptop so I'll find somewhere else to re-post them as soon as I have a chance.
Bed now. Silly o'clock here and I have the school run tomorrow :}

Date: 2012-01-20 09:04 am (UTC)This actually made me laugh out loud. And I've got images in my head now, of FBI guys in their shirtsleeves, wearing shades, listening raptly to navyboy pr0n. All the while making notes.
There's still hope everyone whose legal (and important!) files were stored or backed on MU will take legal action.

I sincerely hope that everyone fights this one to the hilt.

Date: 2012-01-20 10:28 am (UTC)The idea occured to me!
Back in 2003, the US issued a Protection from Pornography Week, which we celebrated by writing crack!fic involving the then-President George W. Bush. Ah, good times!
Well, there are many people who used MU for legit purposes, such as sharing company data or supplying distance students with material for university. I'm sure they'll be well pissed off.

Date: 2012-01-20 10:27 am (UTC)Yeah. Just a teensy bit. As so many people said earlier in the week re SOPA / PIPA, the solution is so much worse than the crime.
Most of the stuff I have shard on megaupload has been original material or recordings of old radio plays and programmes that are no longer available, commercially or otherwise. Dito what I've downloaded. It's infuriating.
