The internet has been crippled.

Original.

Now that MegaUpload has been taken down, other similar sites are taking counter measures. They are removing most files from their databases resulting in a vast amount of information being lost. Video indexing websites are suffering greatly from this as most of the content they once shared is no longer available. And to find the same quality material on other trusted and safe websites is a hassle. Now we come to an age where everything is done underground, it's not like people are going to stop uploading copyrighted content, now it's just more illegal to do so.
