The case against Kim Dotcom aka mega upload
 
Surprised this wasn't already posted. Too long to post here, but seems the charges have finally been brought to light in the mega upload case.

Just a snippet..

"The government's 191-page "Summary of Evidence" also details the stunning sums that Dotcom and his colleagues made running their site. Dotcom, who owned 68 percent of Megaupload and all of sister site Megavideo, made more than $42 million in calendar year 2010. CTO Mathias Ortmann, who owned 25 percent share of Megaupload, made more than $9 million that same year; designer Julius Bencko (2.5 percent) made more than $1 million, and programmer Bram Van Der Kolk (also 2.5 percent) made more than $2 million. Chief Marketing Officer Finn Batato, who was not a shareholder, made $400,000. And no perk was too excessive: the company spent $616,000 renting Mediterranean yachts."

There are huge sums of money involved with file lockers.

It's interesting that Kim Dotcom reported competing sites to Paypal to have them terminated, however failed in his attempts to do this.

I caught the comment below and wondered if user vertgo is GFY's very own time shifting dip shit gideongallery.

Quote:

vertgo - What gets me is that, despite making 42 million a year, they still privately uploaded and shared copyrighted content. It's kind of amazing. With that kind of money I'd buy a house in the states with a tv (if "Lost" wasn't coming to New Zealand fast enough) and pay someone with some kind of time shifting or location shifting service. Or, hell just fly a dude back and forth on the frequent flier miles gotten from a weekly credit card use with a tivo in tow.

Before then, they could claim to not doing any of their own copyright infringement and just be bad at dmca enforcement.
