nsane.forums Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The founder of MegaUpload, who's been accused of online piracy, is planning to launch his disruptive music service Megabox before the end of this year. And maybe, file sharing site MegaUpload returns Back in June, we reported that MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom tweeted that he's creating a music service that could turn the industry upside down. He has posted a new tweet stating that Megabox will be launched this year. Yes... Megabox is also coming this year ;-) The new music service could revolutionize the music industry because it will allow artist to sell their music direct to the customers. Furthermore, artist are allowed to keep 90 percent of their earnings and will also be paid for free music, thanks to a new business model called Megakey, according to Dotcom's guest post at Torrent Freak earlier this year. Popular music services such as the iTunes and Amazon MP3 use different models, with standard pricing schemes and record labels acting as an intermediary. Some artists have already showed some interest in Dotcom's new venture. Also interesting is a previous tweet by Dotcom, claiming that file sharing website MegaUpload will return this year after it was taken down by U.S. authorities. I know what you are all waiting for. It’s coming. This year. Promise. Bigger. Better. Faster. 100% Safe & Unstoppable. Kim Schmitz, Dotcom's real name, was arrested in January this year and accused of copyright infringement and fraud in relation to MegaUpload. He has been released on bail since February because the court of New Zealand rescheduled his extradition hearing to March 2013, due to the way the police gathered evidence and handled his arrest.

Ambrocious Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well, it sounds great but I do know that the major music labels are NOT going to like this one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck_kent Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Major music labels will definitely not like this one. I think these labels will blackmail their artists who plan to support this especially the major artists. Sure, they can sell their music directly to users but if these music labels stop supporting them who's going to back them in concerts and tours and all those advertising and promotions? Time will tell but I hope this Megabox succeeds and will pave a way for others to follow where both artists and consumers win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
