Dotcom Fights the Law With New Mega Site


Kim Dotcom is back, and it seems to be not one iota less bravado in him than before the takeover last year of his Megaupload site.'s Dramatic raid on his house and his indictment by U.S. authorities on piracy charges Although Dotcom legal tussle with the U.S. is far from over, he promises that his new, fully encrypted mega site is legally compliant.
Kim Dotcom on Sunday opened the doors to the new file sharing site Mega. The website is. Splash in the file-sharing world, with its promise of exceptional privacy and securityThat's not the only reason why mega-debut is remarkable, but: Dotcom is the founder of Megaupload, which was itself shut down by the U.S. authorities after accusations of piracy against Dotcom and other Megaupload execs and seizure of financial receivables and other assets .In fact, the introduction of Mega as defiant gesture towards the United States, the dotcom committing online piracy has seen a large scale over Megaupload defendants.The introduction of mega-might actually be helpful, Dotcom, speculated David Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision.Intersecting NarrativesThe introduction of mega follows shortly after the suicide of Reddit co-founder Adam Swartz, who was facing major prison and fines in a federal investigation of the theft of millions of scholarly articles.Swartz reportedly items from a computer archive at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in a bid to have them available free. His trial was about to begin, and if convicted, he would be subject to a set of widely considered excessively hard and not in keeping with the alleged crimes. Since his death, the focus of the story Swartz has unfair advantage on the issue of the prosecutor's office and the need to reform U.S. computer crime shifted.Dotcom Swartz case and the "crimes are not the same and not the same situation at all," Johnson said. They "had apparently different motivations." However, it seems to share that the two high-profile cases, certain compounds.One Year AgoThe Federal Bureau of Investigation shut down MegaUpload about a year ago for reasons that it was used to illegally share copyrighted digital content.Since then, U.S. officials have tried to Dotcom, a stand in New Zealand resident, delivered before the court in the States. The case is stuck in the New Zealand courts, which considered whether raids conducted on Dotcom New Zealand Mansion in 2012 were legal."I'm sure his lawyer prefer it more low key to be," Johnson said of the sometimes flamboyant Dotcom ", but the introduction of Mega is the perfect way to keep him in the forefront and subtly argue with potential jurors that doing it wrong. "A lot of people will no doubt consider the site because of the dotcom fame, added Johnson.A Lot Like YouFor file sharers who like under the radar of copyright owners and the associations that represent them want to fly, there are a lot of Mega.Unlike its competitors, Mega used "state of the art browser-based encryption technology, where we do not control the keys" Mega says on its website.One conclusion that can be drawn from this promise is that users will be less likely to identify with the persecution of organizations. Lest there be any doubt dotcom involvement, his name is listed in the first mega-group design.Made the launch party for the website of light colorful history is Megaupload. It allegedly contained scantily clad bodyguards as apparent Dotcom line defense against a mock raid, complete with an "FBI" helicopter hovering over the meeting.
