File-sharing website Megaupload.com has been shut down for violating piracy laws, according to reports.
The New York Times reports that the company – which, according to the indictment filed by federal prosecutors in Virginia, America, was at one point the 13th most popular website in the world – has been closed down and its founders have been charged.

What the NZ police had to say:
Detective Inspector Grant Wormald, of OFCANZ, said today's arrests were the result of several months coordination with the FBI and US Department of Justice.
"The FBI contacted New Zealand police in early 2011 with a request to assist with their investigation into the Mega conspiracy," Wormald said.
"We were happy to provide this assistance. Staff from OFCANZ and New Zealand police have worked with the US authorities over recent months to effect today's successful operation.
"All the accused have been indicted in the United States. We will continue to work with the US authorities to assist with the extradition proceedings," he said.

In response to today’s federal raid on the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers with the online collective Anonymous have broken the websites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.
