Whispers of private messages containing links to soundboards and secret Facebook groups might become increasingly more rare.

Just one day after sites like Wikipedia, Google and even Phish.net went black in protest of anti-piracy bills currently being debated in Congress (PIPA and SOPA), the federal government issued an indictment against popular file-sharing site, Megaupload.com.

Megaupload, which lists producer Swizz Beatz as its CEO (Ed Note: Who STS9 performed with along with Jay-Z in Denver. There's his 'scene' connection. - Nick), is accused of costing coyright holders $500 million according to TIME Magazine and the indictment.

Hopefully they sort all this stuff out before spring tours. But more than likely, we'll all just go to countless other file uploading sites that pop up every day.

Shutting down every file sharing site . . .
