I still don't get what this fuss is about?

Do you really think that MegaUpload generated 175MM from a few users signing up to a paid account, and from ads and scams that were displayed on URLs with legit content.

If 95% of their revenue came from copyrighted material being shared (without permission), then I'd say MU was a criminal enterprise and what happened was completely okay.

If 5%, than not okay.

The supporting evidence so far points to the former figure.
