: Megaupload founder starts new file-sharing site.
: Fur January 21, 2013, 08:27:59 AM
Just reading the news and I came across this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21106584 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21106584).


Mega (http://mega.co.nz), a web-based service that lets people upload and store files of any kind, is a sequel to the Megaupload system that was shut down last January.
Police raids on the offices and home of Kim Dotcom led to the closure of Megaupload.
The Mega site went online on Sunday, followed by a lavish launch party held at Mr Dotcom's New Zealand mansion.
Mr Dotcom, who was born Kim Schmitz, has said the new site complies with the law and warned that attempts to take it down would be futile.
"This is not some kind of finger to the US government or to Hollywood," he said on Saturday.
"Legally, there's just nothing there that could be used to shut us down. This site is just as legitimate and has the right to exist as Dropbox, Boxnet and other competitors."

Well who would say no to 50GB free cloud storage.
So far it looks pretty good.

Lol did you bother to read the T&C?
Because I did, and idk. Im going to wait to see what other people have to say about it first, like his clause that says basically if you upload content that might get them in trouble then its your responsibility to not only pay for their legal fees, but then to be prosecuted. I mean Kim Dotcom has a good rep as not being helpful towards the government, but then again he's looking at jailtime and too many people these days turn helpful to LE in exchange for leniency. I'm going to wait and see how he does for a few months first, see what others have to say as well. It's a good idea, but we'll see what happens lol.

Just don't use public storage services for illegal stuff. Get your own box in one form or another for that.
But for general use 50gb free space is great.
