I saw this on Tumblr, not sure what to think but it's better to be safe than sorry:

It can land you in prison for 10 years. Clicking the link opens up something that will force you to perform a DDoS attack on certain websites (for example, the MPAA website). The goal is to take all of the websites down, but, it can get a lot of people who don’t know what’s going on in trouble


There is also this article discussing a 'new' Megaupload:

But yeah, I wouldn't try going on it!

Megaupload was on the national news tonight. It was really surreal seeing it on there, but hopefully with the coverage of stuff like this it will put more pressure on people trying to censor the internet.
