It's funny how people are raging against the "government" who shut down Megaupload, when really the feds were merely the instrument.

The real decision was made in some corporate office somewhere - the real owners of the weak little puppet called "government".

The state consists of two parts, the corporation and the government. The government are not some dumb fools who are just "get used" by some old shadowy men in some corporate office. Its a symbiotic relationship.
In time, thou', the balance may tilt one way or the other.

In China nowadays, it's heavily tilted government-side. In the US, it's just as heavily tilted corporate.
