Just in case you haven't heard the news, Megaupload no longer exists.
How does this effect Airiindeshou? Well, I almost exclusively used MU when I first started and it is (was) my favorite filesharing website even now, so many months of files were lost both from here and from Chobi's blog as well.
I'm not going to re-upload everything, but if you stumble across an old post with the download links removed or dead MU links, you can request a re-upload by emailing me at airiindeshou@gmail.com. I will only re-upload files smaller than 1 GB because I'm currently working out the Winrar/7zip problem I'm having when I split larger files (this is the only thing holding up the SD version of Aichan's graduation concert - it's already encoded).
PS, if you don't want this to happen to other websites, the best thing you can do now is protest SOPA/PIPA.
If you live in the US, there are many ways to do this such as calling/writing your state's representative, or just by filling out one (or as many as you want!) of the many online petitions. Here is one from Google, here is one from Firefox that emails your state's Congress members, here is one from Vote for the Net that automatically lets your local senator know you oppose SOPA/PIPA, here is one from Don't Censor the Net!, here is an excellent one from Stop American Censorship, and here is one from Demand Progress addressing President Obama that mentions Megaupload specifically.
If you don't live in the US, this still effects you and you can still help. Here is a petition to the US State Department you can sign. And more importantly, share this post (especially with your American friends)! I tweeted a link to this post so if you have a twitter account, feel free to just retweet it! Otherwise, use any means you can to raise awareness. These bills cannot be allowed to pass.
PPS, if you don't know what SOPA/PIPA is and have been confused throughout this post, here is a nice (but slightly outdated) graphic that does a great job of explaining it (click for fullsize).
Or if you prefer a video explaining it:
