Megaupload was shut down on January 19, 2012, by the FBI in a high-profile operation that targeted piracy and copyright infringement. The site's founder, Kim Dotcom, and several associates were arrested as part of the crackdown. The shutdown led to widespread discussions about internet freedom, digital rights, and copyright enforcement.
Not anymore. In January 19, 2012 megaupload was shut down.
No one knows if it is actually getting shut down, but some people say on March 14th. SOPA is the worst bill that I have seen so far.. Megaupload was shut down a day after several sites protested against SOPA.
Megaupload was shut down by the US government for copyright infringement and the assets of the company were seized. The owner, Kim Dotcom still faces charges over this, but nothing has gone to court yet. Apparently, the site has since been replaced with "mega" at mega.co.nz.
MegaUpload is down as of January 19, 2012 because of a FBI investigation that lead to the U.S. Department of Justice seizing the MegaUpload domain as well as its various other domains such as MegaVideo due to accusations of MegaUpload being involved in copyrighted violations of TV Shows, movies and music.
BT Junkie was a bit torrent site that frequently helped distribute copyrighted material. Rather than face the same sort of litigation and possible criminal charges that were brought against Megaupload, the people who ran the site opted to shut it down.
Megaupload is no longer hosted because the FBI took it down. The FBI took the site down because it was engaged in criminal copyright infringement and money laundering.
Megaupload ended in 2012.

Megaupload was created on 2005-03-21.

You just shut down computer
MegaUpload, the original file-sharing service, was shut down by the U.S. government in January 2012 due to copyright infringement issues. However, a successor service called Mega (mega.nz) was launched by Kim Dotcom in 2013, which operates legally and offers cloud storage and file sharing. If you're looking for file storage and sharing options, Mega is still functional but is separate from the original MegaUpload.
