Default Are you for open internet? Sopa slapped?

Hey guys, as all of you know by now, recently our government completely shut down Megaupload.com without warrants or Court Orders. (Un-Constitutional right?)

Anyhow, some guys and I have created a partition website for MegaUpload.com, which shows those who are standing up for free and open internet. This partition also request that legitimate users get access to their needed and personal files.

If you support the cause, could you please sign the partition and share on your social networks? Thanks to those who do.

Regards,
John King

I can't sign a partition, but can sign a petition.

The perks of being up at 3 AM, sorry for the misspelling. We would love to have the support of Host Gator Users.

I had no idea they got shut down. I honestly do not think there is anything that can be done, but I signed it and hope for the best.

I don't really worry to much about it. Internet is the digital universe. They may be able to stop others, but not all. Sooner or later, they will just give up.
