It's not Megaupload that's bad, it's only a few of the owners. But instead of simply arresting those people they also shut down the site instead of leaving it to other owners and employees to fix it.... So they took down a great site without a real reason.
At least that's how I understand the situation ;)

MegaUpload wasn't good or bad, the same is true for other file sharing websites. MegaUpload was used a lot to share stuff like movies, games, music, etc. Because of this, some say this is bad. But for many people, file sharing shouldn't be consider illegal for a great number of reasons.
Anyway, the reason why it got shutdown is a little controversy but it look more like there was some lobbying involved than there were legal matters, and that's why many people hate the fact MegaUpload got shutdown.

Simple answer. Because it's against Internet freedom.

because the owners knew what was being uploaded to their servers and supported it, they were making money off it too.

Torrenting is legal, I cant pay for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 ultimate edition neither can I pay for Microsoft office ultimate. Adobe After FX and all that stuff is expensive.
(I don't know how to use half the features in either software, but you gotta have the best of the best)
SO if they want me to stop torrenting, then they better lower the price...

Well, it's a broader problem we clearly see. You say you download illegally those IDE's because you want to code, you want a quality product, but it's too much expensive for you, so you get it warezed. I once read a report on why people pirate movies, music, apps, etc. It's mostly because they feel the price isn't worth the value they give to the article they are going to buy. How is that? Well, let's say an genuine DVD movie costs you 10$, you know the packaging, burning of the DVD costs to the company at best 2$. So you also have to pay the movie industry for their work, sum up another 2$. To the store owner, 1$ more. What happens then? We want genuine articles, with all it entails, except that we consider it overpriced at 10$ because we know that producing wasn't even at the half of the price. Again 10$ isn't much, but it's cheaper to pirate it, considering the cost of your DSL/fibre/etc.
A copy of your favorite IDE might cost 1500$ and you know that even with the box, manuals, producing that copy didn't cost more than 30$. And everything is gain when you buy the license online, how much costs to send to you an email with your 25 chars key? I know there's a cost implied in server maintenance, leased line for datacenters, etc. but we all know it outsells having it online rather than producing a physical box of a copy of your favorite product.
