"SYDNEY (AP) — Indicted Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom launched a new file-sharing website on Sunday, promising users amped-up privacy levels in a defiant move against the U.S. prosecutors who accuse him of facilitating massive online piracy."
You can easily google the site, but it's crashed because of demand.
"half a million users registered for Mega in its first 14 hours."
Does this affect you? It's probably mostly Hollywood movies that are pirated, not indies, but many of you may work on Hollywood movies and depend on a paycheck from that industry.
I'm somewhat ambivalent. I don't support piracy, but am squeamish about the government controlling the internet and shutting down sites they don't like.
And what the heck, his name is Kim Dotcom?
Also, how is this guy a multi millionaire? How does he get paid? I think megaupload was a free site?
