Megavideo is mentioned in the indictment 79 times, often in relation to the “Mega” people pillaging YouTube to start the site off.
ah ok, I haven't seen it in any news stuff. Seems weird, the whole coverage is about it as a dl storage thing but it was also this pay to view streaming service.

I am wary of making any comment around this situation as I just always seem piss people off....but here goes!
One thing that no one seems to be mentioning is http://megavideo.com/ which was basically the streaming/youtube version of megaupload.
Humans (like myself) tend to be a but hypocrital (or maybe just me) and you may find yourself watching TV shows unavailable in NZ on the internet (thank goodness for Soho channel!) like umm Gossip Girl via megavideo. The huge difference between megavideo and youtube, is that megavideo stops streaming and encourages the user to pay money to watch more of the video. Now why would anyone pay to watch copyright free material on the internet? The service surely only exists to encourage infringement and financially benefit from it.
I use yousendit to send large audio files all the time, the idea that the service could be deemed illegal and my content frozen (even though I have paid for the service) is irritating of course. But yousendit doesn't seem that dodgy. It really sucks that legit megaupload users are losing out here, and it sucks that the big TV and film studios aren't offering really solid alternatives to illegal downloading (like a TV version of spotify? I guess in the US they have hulu)...

I mounted the munted mule.

I am so glad this post ended with a happy twist! Covenants be dammed. Moving old houses to save them is a wonderful thing. My mum has done it a number of times and it's always worked out marvelously. Much less stress than building a house from scratch.

It lacks a certain piquancy when it’s spelt ‘minute'
good call, I will edit my comment!

I love the word ‘munted’ and have used a great deal through out my life. I had no idea until today that it had any special significance to this year.
Did anyone else notice ‘nek minute’ in the Dom Post weather strip (at the bottom of A1) about two weeks ago; “Sunny morning – nek minit; cloudy with a chance of rain”. That’s ridonculous.

-1000 for “Nom”
I'm inclined to agree. Might as well make it a blog about cup-cakes with a name like that.
