Former WinUAE developer arrested
Former WinUAE developer Mathias Ortman has been arrested amongst others by the FBI in New Zealand in a case against megaupload.com where he apparently has been CTO and director.

Is it confirmed that it's the very same Mathias Ortmann then? I can imagine there's more than one person with that name.
I wonder if , Dropbox, etc. will follow now in the USA's agenda to control the Internet. |

Probably not. It's not that common. I guess it's him.

It was hinted at the SOPA thread that this Mathias might be the UAE developer and it might just be true, I just couldn't find any link online that would confirm so. [edit] Found a link here: http://www.handelszeitung.ch/unterne...uehrt-nach-zug Quote:

No it isn't wrong. Many people there knew about the guy and hated him. He probably hung around some BBS or another too, from time to time.
How do you know about him? :P Last edited by prowler; 21 January 2012 at 00:06. |

Yes of course. Because you were around back in the day in Germany when Kimble was active in the scene. I totally forgot about that.

The real question is, why do you get so uppity about something this retarded?
Read my words again: I said people from the demoscene KNEW ABOUT HIM, in the same way you or even I can know about him. Evidently you know more about him than me, but my original statement remains. I mentioned this because of what my friends have told me about. The fact that you know about this character and the hatred towards him just confirms what I originally said. |

What a mockery, the day after millions of people protest against SOPA, FBI takes down megaupload, doing operations in other countries?But, i fear that this will only continue, with going next, and so on...
