Kim Dotcom announces Mega, successor to Megaupload
Kim Dotcom has announced he will launch Mega, a file-sharing site to pick up where Megaupload left off.
Kim Dotcom, founder of the banned Megaupload filesharing site, has announced a new version called Mega designed to sidestep the American laws under which he is being prosecuted for £175m worth of alleged online piracy, racketeering and money laundering.
Dotcom on Thursday announced the new online storage service, saying it would give users direct control – and responsibility – over their files. The site has previously been referred to as Megabox in a teaser video.
Dotcom said Mega would launch in January 2013, just before he is scheduled to face a New Zealand extradition hearing brought on by the United States where he and other Megaupload operators face prosecution.
