-
Kim Dotcom to launch Megaupload successor

Dotcom's new venture, mega.co.nz, aims to recreate the success of his Megaupload empire, which boasted 50 million daily visitors and accounted for four per cent of all internet traffic before it was shut down after the police raid.

The 38-year-old, who changed his name from Kim Schmitz, remains free on bail in New Zealand as US authorities seek his extradition on a range of charges including money laundering, racketeering and copyright theft.

They allege Megaupload sites netted more than $US175 million ($A166.7 million) in criminal proceeds and cost copyright owners more than $US500 million by offering pirated copies of movies, TV shows, music and other content.

Dotcom denies any wrongdoing and the charges, which carry jail terms of up to 20 years, have not discouraged him from launching the new Mega service, which he has enthusiastically promoted on Twitter in recent weeks.

"I think you will be very happy with the new #Mega," he tweeted on Friday. "It's like time travel. We'll take you to the future".

The tech entrepreneur has promised an "epic" launch for the new site and even impersonated Willy Wonka to promote it at an Auckland shop on Thursday, handing out tubs of ice cream with golden tickets to the event hidden in them.

Details of the planned service are scarce, but the site promises to use state-of-the-art encryption methods that mean only users, not the site's administrators, know what they are uploading.

That would theoretically stop authorities from accusing administrators of knowingly aiding online piracy, the central allegation facing Dotcom.

Dotcom has said Mega will offer users 50GB of free storage, significantly more than similar sites such as Dropbox and Google Drive, but most details remain under wraps until they are unveiled on Sunday at the Dotcom Mansion.

The German national was preparing for his birthday party at the lavish Auckland property in January last year when armed police staged a dawn raid, tracking him down in a hidden panic room running off his bedroom.

Officers seized more than a dozen luxury cars, including a 1959 pink Cadillac, along with valuable artworks and a sawn-off shotgun, while Dotcom's bank accounts were frozen and he spent more than a month in jail.

Eventually freed on bail, his legal team have enjoyed a number of successes challenging the prosecution case, including a ruling that the police raid was illegal and a government admission that Dotcom was illegally spied upon before his arrest.

The extradition hearing is due to be heard in August.

I wonder how New Zealand will feel about being a haven of pedophile, bestiality and rape content on mega.co.nz?

I'm sure that's not the kind of image they want to portray to the world but we'll see!

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/mega.co.nz

That was quick AK, how did you manage that?

looks like a ddos was up a bit ago

It's not just you! http://mega.co.nz looks down from here.

Today is a very important day, the one that shows that AK is (no offence) nobody and is fighting a loosing battle (yet again). Why he's doing so doesn't really matter be it pure enthusiasm, belief or financial gain of some sort. Not gonna happen. The business is changing its model, adjusting and is going to go stronger.

MEGA has now been launched, it has PayPal (pre-approved would be my best guess) and soon every venue will be flooded with the links to Mega and similar new hosts that no doubt will pop up like mushrooms after a rain. AK will not be able to do anything about that. The favorite method of uploading some CP be it fake or real and reporting it all over the place will not work anymore.

So AK, I guess you lost that bet already and now owe me 10k.

File lockers, tubes, torrents and whatever else people invent to share stuff is here to stay. Everything is running in its natural course, adapt or die I guess.

the guys head has been so inflated by the little success he has had taking sites down and then all of the people here licking his ass. cocky is an understatement it will only get worst.

you are only allowed to question him if you have skin in the game and have done more work to try to stop file lockers than he has, he said that previous page to me when i ask him simple questions.

you are a first time poster, you did not prove if you have skin in the game or have do enough effort to satisfy him so therefore you best not question him when he replies to you, got it punk ??

Firstly we never upload to file lockers.

Secondly Mega does not have Paypal and never will.

A couple of Mega resellers have Paypal and they are being terminated.

Kyro, I would like to take this time to thank you for being a psychological laxative, every time I read your posts I feel the urge to take a massive bowel movement.

I will offer some speculation here.

I am willing to bet that the largest group engaged in pirating our videos are probably the webmasters of this industry. In fact I will go as far as to say that I would not be surprised if they were responsible for at least 50%

So how about someone start a "clean our own back yard" campain ? Rat out those in this industry that steal from this industry.

It's always been a sort of race to the bottom, the only thing that kept it in check for a while was the technology (i.e. bandwidth and networks).

I won't name anyone but one webmaster said that one of their best affiliates was the one ripping all their content and uploading it to file lockers. Some people will make money anyway they can. Other webmasters go behind each others backs all the time, if that's your nature and how you profit best than keep on doing it I suppose. There are plenty of examples of egregious conduct and people are still doing business, but no names to save face.

When I was selling content, one webmaster said that I could do my content deals then go out and sell it exclusive to someone and they in turn could pull everything back by what I had sold. Sounds ethical to me!

The behavior is not going to change, that's why laws and external enforcement has to occur.
I've talked to streaming companies and get wind of what pirates and other people do to stay just under the radar.
Companies will continue to soak up traffic at the cost of others simply because they can.

This industry has good people in it but I liken it to people that own pitbulls. Pitbulls in and of themselves are really bad dogs, thought they have a stigma.
People that own pitbulls, however, are 10x likely to have a criminal record of some kind. Same to this industry.

LOL
those filesuckers are fast to try demotivate u AK

LOL again. they have lost their business and they should get some big black cock in their asses to shut them down.

fuck those bitches, keep rolling. their forums are desperate, because FL business collaplased in result of your effort. you're the only one with balls here, they are just whinning bitches (just like regular gfyers)

One hour ago we began our campaign to have the payment processing of all Mega resellers terminated.

Mega itself does not process payments because nobody would process payments for it.

Details can be found on http://stopfilelockers.com

Thanks for the releases

I enjoy many of the releases of the SFL blog. Make sure you tell your author he is
really good at copy

Good job AK... how long before NZ kick him out? Do they really want this publicity with mega.co.nz? I can't believe that being the global home to encrypted child porn and warez will do much for the carefully cultivated tourist image for New Zealand.

The best thing for them would be to send him to that U.S Federal prison in August. The judges will have no option but to kick him out before he damages the reputation of New Zealand forever.

From Planet Suzy http://planetsuzy.org

Edit: Same thing at http://vintage-erotica-forum.com

people who create anon accounts to post shit against anti piracy efforts do not deserve an answer LOL ... like somebody owes pirate dipshits an explanation

that one Sire has made my day

waste of forum space.

Mega & KimDotCom are famous in mainstream media - unlike (currently bigger) file lockers and torrent sites. So, whoever could be claimed as "stopped Mega & KimDotCom" (from billing users), will be also famous in mainstream media, just as included in the Mega & KimDotCom line.

Sweet
.

It appears WJunction has changed hands and PlanetSuzy.org, Vintage-Erotica-Forum.com and some other sites are in trouble.

CrakMedia were advertising on Vintage-Erotica-Forum.com so I assume they aren't happy about being stiffed for their nefarious traffic.

Alot is happening right now with regard to Kaktuz / Simon Key - it's going to be a pretty bad start to the new year for him.

AK, if you can shut down Mega and especially their resellers then that would be a good start... what about their New Zealand and Aussie hosting providers? Do they want to be associated with Kim?

Also, what are Melbourne based Instra doing? Maybe you should pay the CEO a visit!

Instra are providing support, billing and other services. They issued a press release yesterday.

Mega business model looks much more similar to Dropbox, rather than Megaupload. Declaring war on Mega resellers doesnt make much sense, turning rogue filelockers into legit services, that sell could space instead of ease of access to content, supposed to be aim of this whole kill-filelockers compain.
Making it "I want to ruin their business no matter what" doesnt look serious, and will not yield positive results in long term. My bet, new Mega will not loose PP payment option.

The new Mega hides behind this thinly veiled appearance of a legitimate cloud hosting service, the fact is though that it's designed to facilitate sharing and following from that unlawful or copyright infringing distribution of content.

We have already detected a significant amount of illegal and copyright infringing material being shared by the new Mega.

We haven't and wont go after legitimate services like Dropbox - however from it's inception the new Mega was never intended to be a legitimate cloud storage service as it has all the fundamental qualities of an infringing file locker service, the only thing missing at this stage is an affiliate program.

yeah. filelockers are in the air, it demanded technology of nowadays internet.
it should develop as a legal business, so not only filelockers, but also content owners and legit webmasters win. we just need the rules which make sense for all parties

Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. Kim Dotcom launched this service because it was timely in order to use his fame, had he done it at a later time he wouldn't garner enough publicity to make it successful.
He's just obscuring the facts enough to make it not get him taken down (immediately anyway).
Despite the fact AK will show google transparency reports in the coming weeks of mega vs dropbox, people will still not accept it and get it, that will never change.
That's the way it is in any business, I remember using robots in a welding job and other workers were saying how other workers should take the place of the robots. You could explain to them the rationale of the robots and how they were the answer to dealing with cheap labor from mexico and other countries, yet they would continue to think and act in denial.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/mega.co.nz

There are sites already sharing links to hundreds of copyright infringing titles on Mega.

In fact, virtually all the files being shared that have been picked up by Google seem to be infringing. Not a good start for a supposedly legitimate service.

Kim is trying to portray himself as an internet visionary (kind of like Fabian) and a freedom fighter or pioneer when in fact he's a crook.

Mega spectacle at launch of Kim Dotcom's new file-sharing site

The internet entrepeneur Kim Dotcom boasted on Sunday that his new file-sharing service, Mega, was the fastest-growing startup in internet history.

In a bravado-filled launch at his estate north of Auckland, the German-born entrepreneur ramped up his counterattack on US prosecutors who argue that the site's predecessor, Megaupload, was at the heart of a "mega conspiracy", a "worldwide criminal organisation" enabling the exchange of copyright material.

"I've never seen anything like this," Dotcom said at an event that was equal parts press conference, polemic and buffoonery. "I've done a bit of PR and got a bit of attention, that's certainly helped. But I never expected 250,000 user registrations in the first two hours ? I think it's unheard of. I don't know of any other startup that has had this kind of early success."

The site had more than a million visits in the first 14 hours, he said, with more than half a million registering for the service, which offers 50GB of free cloud-based data storage.

The launch was held at Dotcom's semi-rural home a year to the day after it was raided by New Zealand police in what was widely regarded as a bizarrely gung-ho operation at the behest of the FBI.

As if the timing and rhetoric were not enough, the import of the new enterprise was hammered home in an at times high-camp performance featuring a mock invasion of the estate, with gun-waving, balaclava-clad commandos descending the inner walls while a helicopter with "FBI" painted on the sides flew overhead.

Earlier a pair of comperes introduced Dotcom on stage as "a multimillionaire maniac, heavyweight champion, three-time Academy Award winner and qualified veterinarian".

US authorities are seeking the extradition of Dotcom and several of his associates to face charges of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering. Backed by Hollywood producers, they allege that Megaupload knowingly and willingly profited from the provision of a conduit for the exchange of pirated copyright materials. The US case has suffered a series of setbacks in New Zealand's courts.

The Motion Picture Association of America expressed scepticism about Mega. "We are still reviewing how this new project will operate, but we do know that Kim Dotcom has built his career and his fortune on stealing creative works," it said.

Dotcom says advanced encryption built into the new site is in part motivated by his growing awareness of the importance of privacy issues. In an interview with the Guardian before the Mega launch, he positioned himself as a leader in the movement for "internet freedom", and said his own experience of being illegally spied on ? which resulted in a public apology from New Zealand's prime minister ? had informed his thinking.

On Sunday night Dotcom said Megaupload had been unfairly targeted, and asserted that half of all internet traffic was pirated material. "They are trying to blame us for an internet phenomenon ? You can ask any ISP that connects users to the internet, how much piracy traffic do you think you have on your network, and anyone who will tell you less than 50% is a liar. On the internet, piracy is so common that any internet company has to deal with the same issues," he said.

"They can't blame me for the actions of third parties. Megaupload was a dual-use technology. You can use it for good things, and you can use it for bad things. If someone sends something illegal in an envelope through your postal service, you don't shut down the post office. If someone speeds with the car he just bought, you don't go to the car manufacturer and say, hey, we're shutting you down."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...om-mega-launch

how would you know this unless you uploaded the content yourself? it is encrypted so don't tell me that you have some jedi knight trick of being able to break their incryption. I know you will give your standard bullshit reply of " we have our methods and wont disclose them" but in this case it is easy to understand you either upload the content or you don't really know and are lying.

The service allows you to hotlink your content. Do you think people simply signed up to have a remote hard drive on hand? Wouldn't be practical to have all of my content located halfway around the world for safe keeping. Considering the precarious state and reputation Kim Dotcom is in, doesn't sound like a reliable spot either.

It's quite simple.

Piracy forum has posts with DVD covers and title information and beneath all that is a mega.co.nz link.

Piracy blog publishes images and screenshots from videos and beneath that is an offer to download using a mega.co.nz link.

Haaaaaaaaahhaaa AK shutting Mega down. Some good shit you are smoking. Maybe you haven't noticed but all he managed to do so far is remove Paypal from a few low traffic lockers nobody has heard of. And they usually have a new account up the next day.
He can't do shit about Mega.

Yeah nobody ever heard of Netload, Extabit, Luckyshare, Lumfile. Crocko, MediaFire. All low traffic file lockers that just happen to be or have been in the Alexa 100.

You're such a retard Franck.

Yeah but you don't care about the ILLEGAL one, you care only about the copyright infringing one. The real target are not the cyberlockers directly involved in the large scale distribution of CP like depfile and asfile, but the ones your are being paid to go after.
You are just a cashwhore being paid by somebody in order to take down cyberlockers and redirect traffic from them to tubes, this also explains the 50K dollars Fabian did "donate" you. Less cyberlockers means more traffic for tubes. Oh and I forgot your bullshit copycontrol stuff in order to represent people. Come on AK, you are getting pathetic. Your only luck is that there are still enough morons believing you.

We have taken down illegal and copyright infringing file lockers. Lumfile had the biggest problem with illegal content of all the sites and lost billing and web hosting so needed to start again.

If you have evidence of this you need to take it to the police, they are the only agency qualified to deal with such matters.

You are wrong on both counts. If a file locker goes down it's traffic doesn't get redirected anywhere as the site is down, any traffic going to the site is basically /dev/null

You're somewhat hysterical however what you're also missing is that less cyberlockers sharing copyright infringing content means more people are forced to pay for what they are currently stealing.

However you've clearly shown your issue with this whole campaign, you don't want less cyberlockers. You're against this campaign because it's obviously affecting you in some way shape or form.

You've made just a few posts on GFY and they are all to attack this effort, so 10 out of 10 for transparency.

I wanted to quote this so everyone can see how clueless you are (as usual) after he makes his next announcement.

I am the webmaster and custodian of records for 5 of the largest gay adult sites on the Net, I've been in the industry for almost 14 years, and I am on the front lines every day sending DMCA notices to file lockers to have our content taken down. I have SKIN (and cock) IN THE GAME! And I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that AK's efforts ARE making a difference. Causing upload monkeys to swing from file locker to file locker and venting their frustration and fury on the boards they post on until many of them just quit in utter exasperation. I've never posted in this thread before but just wanted AK to know you have lots of fans who appreciate the work you do!

Thanks for the kind comments.

Your experience matches that of many people who we speak to who do not post on GFY. Slowly but surely we are dismantling years of unchecked piracy and a file locker eco system that supports it.

This should get very interesting.

Torrentfreak article in link.

Anti piracy group moves to cut off finances of dotcoms Mega

Let's make a wager on how many asinine comments that article obtains... I wouldn't be surprised if it gets 500+

its interesting how much AK's useless, non affecting work is bothering people

AK is famous! yay!

interesting that Intra was founded by the new CEO of Mega, he's potentially putting his registrar at risk for this new service? That's a bit dumb.

all you do is run your cock sucker and sell shitty links
