Corruption

Well, it's pretty much inevitable. Taxes, business regulations, and government monopolies are the foundations of corrupt government. They provide the money and power that the crooks either siphon off for themselves or sell to the highest bidder. The bigger the government, the more corrupt it will tend to be.

Want to know why?

It's because gambling via Holland Casino is a Dutch government monopoly. 
It has nothing to do with corruption or anything else.
The Dutch state needs it to fill their pockets!
They are "against" gambling unless you do it with them.
Gambling in Holland is only allowed if the state does it or gets a lot of the action!
Dutch politics simply stinks with Harry Potter (Balkenende) up front! :-)

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
