New Megaupload Will Be Massive Global Network To Change The World

[nsane.forums]

Several weeks ago Kim Dotcom informed the world that Megaupload would be back, bigger and better than ever. Today, in a series of announcements he’s provided more intriguing details about the new service. “We are building a massive global network,” Dotcom revealed, while adding that hosters will all be able to connect to the network to add servers and bandwidth – providing they’re not in the United States that is. “I am going to turn this world upside down,” Dotcom warned.

In July, a little over six months since the January raids on Megaupload, Kim Dotcom told the world his now-infamous service would be back.

“MEGA will return. Bigger. Better. Faster. Free of charge & shielded from attacks. Evolution!” the Megaupload founder announced on Twitter.

Coming from most regular people in the online space, such claims might be considered fanciful, particularly given the precarious situation Dotcom and his associates find themselves in. But with enthusiasm, energy and positivity coming out of his every pore, there is something about the larger-than-life German that inspires confidence that these were not casual off-the-cuff remarks.

Today, in a series of announcements, Dotcom has added to his earlier promise that not only will Megaupload return, it will indeed be bigger, better and more secure than ever before.

“Developers get ready. The Mega API [application programming interface] will provide incredible powers. Our API and your Mega tools will change the world,” Dotcom said.

Knowing Dotcom’s history of never doing anything in half measures or on a modest scale, the Internet entrepreneur says he’s going large with the new Megaupload and is inviting almost everyone to join him in scaling the system.

With a shake of the head towards those who he claims preside over a corrupt administration, Dotcom implies he is excluding one nation from supplying infrastructure to the new Megaupload.

“We are building a massive global network. All non-US hosters will be able to connect servers & bandwidth,” he explained.

According to Dotcom we can expect a Megaupload with an even greater range of applications than just file-sharing. While developers of file managers are being encouraged to get in touch for early API access, Dotcom is also calling out to those involved in email and fax tools, VOIP and video apps.

And to those looking forward to a new Megaupload with more privacy, Dotcom says that the new service will offer one-click encryption of all data transfers, on the fly, and for free.

“They abused the wrong guy. I am going to turn this world upside down. Power to the people. Bye bye Echelon. Hello Freedom,” Dotcom concludes.

I hope they can somehow get there previous servers/data back online though that would be even better news imo.

I also hope this means megavideo etc will return too!

OH GOD I HOPE HE DOESN'T GET KILLED! But.....if he does re-open MegaUpload, this just might be his fate sadly. Even still, we have to resist the tyranny to the very end.

Won't it be nice if this guy and the new owners of TPB get together... TBP puts servers flying around the world and tracks direct download links provided by MEGA servers and online document processing, video chat etc... Broadcast free Sattelite WIMAX to the world and use the funding from the ads to pay for it. Unite the resources against America!! Make our own movies and music videos... Use the talented programmers out here to make software... and we'll all find our sacrifice in tomorrow, to prove to the earth we can make a brighter day.

@Avitar: exactly what I was thinking + Anonymous. :D

Do you guys actually trust Kim? In the past, he hasn't been the most loyal person; he helped the police inorder to save his own ass. I'm still not sure if i'll be using his services.

While I hope this is not just the fanciful rantings of a madman on his last ditch efforts towards resilience and outward defiance, I would like to point out the HUGE difference between the founders of TPB and MEGA.

The TPB guys are ideologically motivated radical left-wing hippies, who - whether one likes it or not - actually believed that they can make a difference and usher in a revolution with TPB. It was more of an anti-establishment, anti-capitalism political statement than just making some quick dough :yes:

Whereas Dotcom is an opportunistic money launderer who has no honest political belief system whatsoever and whose only reason for starting MEGA was to make as much money as possible by exploiting others' hard work. Hence he will never get as much support or sympathy as the Swedes ;)

Having said that though, I do hope that he succeeds. Paying $20 for a movie DVD or $100 for an OS is not something that I'm looking forward to anytime soon :P

Lets get straight. Mega coming back has no use for us. Why so? Because even if it comes back, it's never going to be as free as it was before.

However, that doesn't mean it should stop us supporting the guy. Why? Because if Mega does comes back, it's a big slap to US Govt. and hollywood jerks. It will increase our resilience against the oppressors.

Whatever this guy does or says is good. He's openly challenging the US. Govt. So far, one of the only few people who have done that.
