Legal tax avoidance in the United States (I'm not American - qualifier) is a common trait throughout most large businesses. If anything, taking part in avoidance would put Megaupload into the same company as GE, Wells Fargo, DuPont, Boeing, Honeywell... All companies who had revenue in the hundred of millions and billions of dollars, yet still received Government rebates. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073743/Revealed-The... Furthermore, Google does +2 billion queries daily yet they still only pay between %2-3 in taxes. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/10/googles-... I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying that it doesn't make Megaupload "shady" for using these legal loopholes. Furthermore, most people in the piracy "scene" know not to use Megaupload because of their quick compliance with DMCA takedown notices - something that's come over years of investment in their technology and takedown procedures. Anything but shady in my opinion. |
