With any hearing for extradition to the US to face criminal copyright charges having been pushed back, it is hard not to see the extravagant unveiling of the new site as a two-finger gesture aimed at US authorities.
“It would probably have looked very bleak for [Obama] to go to Hollywood and ask them to help him get re-elected when he couldn’t make Sopa [Aaron Swarz, defeater of Sopa was later bullied to death by the DoJ] happen for them. So Megaupload became a plan B.”
While reluctant to talk in detail about the case of Aaron Swartz, the Reddit co-founder who killed himself last week after what some have claimed was disproportionate behaviour by prosecutors over a hacking case, there are “similarities in the way we have been prosecuted”, says Dotcom. “Over-reaching abuse of power, no due process, just completely insane.”
And he sees a similar pattern in the treatment of WikiLeaks. “I think Julian Assange’s fear, that the Swedish government is co-operating with the US government and that there might be an attempt to extradite him from Sweden, is very real. So I sympathise with him. I see also similarities and abuses that are happening in the case against WikiLeaks that were happening to us.”

Kim Dotcom is more aware of how people are spying on things, but praises Google….who have strong US gov / ties to the CIA.
Is he aware of this?
Is he aware of Android?
Censhorship of blogs/YouTube?
Manipulation of likes/dislikes/removal/disabling of videos/audio?
Seems like a very ‘convenient’ time to talk about spying in one breath and then praising Google.
Hollywood doesn’t have the content that everybody wants: it’s not real and it has passed through so many market studies it’s saying nothing and its formulaic. Which is why the masses and their content are being monetized now.
Jimmy Wales is a fraudster, as are Google.
With all that said, I hope he wins any case against the US gov. What they did was wrong…and I hope he comes out of it in 1 piece.
ps. Toby Manhire looks like a male stripper with a name to match. Hah!!
I’ll go sit in the corner now.

Can MEGA users send files between them?
Only THEN it can really help (C)-killing.
MEGA does not allow uploads in Safari, unless you suck Scroogle’s cock and download the Chrome browser for girls.
Boooo Dotcom, Booo. Another fake platform with .gov backing.

Here’s how the conversation goes:
INT – HOLDING CELL – NIGHT
N.I.A (Nameless intelligence Agency)
” So Kim, we’ve got you now big boy. Now, you can either go to jail for a very long time, where we’ll make sure the other inmates run a “train”on your ass then you’ll get whacked oh and by the way we’ll be discovering kiddie porn on your hard drive too or ….
KIM; (Crying like a baby) Tell me, please what do I gotta do?!
NI.A Well (handing him a tissue) If you come work for us, start another upload site but this time with our blessing then I think we can work something out … you may even get richer this time around … just look at Zuckerberg.
KIM; I don’t understand.
N.I.A Here’s how it works, people will register with your site because you’ll be seen to be an “outlaw” the site will have an air of credibility … the kids will think that they’re “giving it to the man” by registering with you and subsequently they’ll be uploading all kinds of clandestine shit that we’d just luuurve to get our hands on … added to which, we’re gonna pump and dump that sucker in a couple of years and get filthy rich on the back of the “cred” an “outlaw” like you will give it.
When MEGA starts getting positive coverage on yahoo’s homepage I smell a rat.
