    I recommend MediaFire.

    Unless they take down that one too. Bastards.

    That's what we mostly use, if we were to lose them we would be screwed. Mediafire and Fileserve are the two I care most about, but Megaupload was great for many years.

    Yeah that was megaderp, I just saw SOPA when I was editing my post. xD

    @Saxy Well it might be harder for them to take down youtube, but in all actuality they could take down the entire internet if they wanted(through this mindset). I'm sure that'll go over well..

    I don't think we have mirrors, but I know a lot of the staff (and members) have the videos downloaded so it wouldn't be that hard to reupload them.

    I thoroughly believe that it's impossible to take down all of the internet, for it doesn't just exist in America, it's international application, hence it's name World Wide Web. The US government, of course, can censor it, like they're wanting to do now, but there will always be backdoors.

    Droid, if they take down Photobucket, you're screwed for life.

    Make sure someone has them all downloaded. It'd be a pain to lose them.

    Edit: Never mind. We're sorted.

    I'm pretty damn sure that the majority of piracy happens in Europe rather than the US. The US is in the stone age when it comes to the digital world compared to Europe. (Internet speed, piracy acceptance, etc.)

    /taking backdoor to Canada

    For the moment it's just the group of idiots in Congress, but they've managed to make enough stir to have this happen(think if they actually got everyone to agree...gawd). What this could do though is cause allot of offshore companies to block themselves(or whatever the term) from being used in the US, for fear of being prosecuted.

    @Llave Dammit I was trying to push that thought out of my mind. ._. My gif collections will be ruined!.. Plus there is the whole thing about my AMVs..curses I'm going to need a bunker.

    As long as they don't take down MediaFire, I am fine.

    Just found out.....right now I'm freaked if this will happen to any other website like YouTube or my dear MediaFire (because I know that there are tons of full length films on YouTube). I never really actually used Megaupload, I only ever used it once (thanks KHV~), but man....I'm freaked.

    Speaking of SOPA
    If this bill passes then your citizenship can be revoked for accusations of "hostilities" against the US

    Truly the land of the free.

    Time to take down all of my downloads. Hope they don't start looking for people who posted "copyrighted" content. If so I am fucked and then some.

    Good thing I never used Megaupload or anything like it. And even on Mediafire the only thing that's on there are some random things I believe....I just hope that PIPA bill doesn't pass. If it does, I think a lot of us that make AMVs are headed to jail for a good while
