For/against/neutral?
A serious thread to the industries it affects? If so, is it worth taking measures against services such as Megaupload in the name of curbing piracy?
An unavoidable part of the internet age, or simply a service problem?

If you get a good/service (such as music, etc) the supplier should be paid. Stuff like Pandora pays the supplier and thus relies on commercials (and subscriptions, few as they may be) to keep themselves afloat. I don't know what Megaupload is, but the artists should be reimbursed in some way for their services. Even if they are overpaid, it's not your decision.
