At first everything on the internet was free and wild. Then the market crashed and the free money ran out. There sprung up many pay sites on the internet and it was still free. Now due to terrorism, crime, and hollywood we are seeing the beginning of the end of freedom on the internet

Shutting them down is absolutely the right answer. They would be nowhere without illegal file sharing generating hits.
Half the stuff you guys think is legit isn't. Like unlicensed mods and such.
And on the other hand, Megaupload is a fine and cost effective place for sticking gigabyte files for sharing with other small business consultants when no one has an ftp site. It's also a great way to stick stuff up for our field people when they work in different states, but need access to developing info, dwgs, images, etc.
But I'm sure shutting down the site hasn't effected any legitimate users whatsoever and won't have any negative repercussions at all...

irrelevant. Even if you are one hundred percent right then all those businesses are just leeching off the prosperity that megaupload is leeching off of the IP owners.
If your use alone could support a business model like that then there'd be plenty of legitimate places for those businesses that can't afford an ftp site (lol) to go.

my BBS service offers a totally encrypted cloud service.
theyve even optimized it for use with android/mapple with a convenient app.
i only pay 25 bucks a month for unlimited downloading, SSL, cloud, anonymous browsing (aol style)...

I understand that you don't care about legitimate users getting screwed, as long as you are aware that it is happening and that you are a maroon, all is good.

 File sharing services get used for all sorts of stuff besides downloading illegal games and movies. Punishing everyone because of the game and movie pirates is going to backfire on them.
 Who is this mythical person who used it for something other than porn, music, game or movie downloads?

I've had plenty of law firms that use files sharing sites to send us files that are too large to email.

Cloud storage <> File sharing services. If you were using Megaupload as online storage, you were a moron of unprecedented depth and scope and deserved to lose your files.
That said, this is what happens when Congress won't do what the media companies want - they go after the Executive branch instead.

Were your law firms using Megaupload? If so, they're idiots, but given your track record I think the more likely explanation is that you're mistaking more reputable file storing services like Dropbox for file sharing services.
