nsane.forums Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Aside from starring in a Christmas play and fighting legal battles on two continents, Kim Dotcom is also working hard on the release of the new Megaupload. Mega, as the new service is called, will go live in a month and today Dotcom showed off one of his many new racks, packing a cool 720 terabytes of data. January this year the U.S. Government shut down Megaupload, but founder Kim Dotcom is not done with the file-hosting business yet. On the contrary, he is preparing a comeback with a bigger and better version of Megaupload. Over the past several months Dotcom and his crew have been working hard on the new “Mega” which is scheduled to launch January 19 2013, exactly one year after Megaupload was shut down. Today Dotcom showed off one of Mega’s new racks, freshly delivered in the past few hours. The rack pictured below holds 720 terabytes of data and is just one of many that will power the new cloud hosting service. To put this in perspective, during the raid in January the U.S. seized 1,103 servers with 25 petabytes hosted at Megaupload’s main hosting facility Carpathia. Aside from ordering centrally located servers, the new Mega will partner with hosting providers from all over the world to create a global cloud network. In theory this will make the site more resistant against rogue governments, and will also guarantee optimal speeds for Mega’s users. New MEGA Rack In recent months Dotcom has managed to get many people excited about the upcoming Mega release, which will be quite different from the old Megaupload. Last week he told TorrentFreak that Mega is special because it’s the result of everything the team has learned over the years. “It’s special because seven years of experience have been turned into the perfect cloud storage solution. It scales infinitely. It provides up- and download acceleration and resume in the browser thanks to the latest HTML5 technology,” he said. One of the breakthrough features, however, is the “military grade” encryption people will use to secure their files. Before a file is uploaded it will be encrypted, which means that no one except the owner can see what it contains. With this tool Dotcom hope to bring encryption into the mainstream. “Our easy to use one-click privacy feature will turn encryption into a mass product. We believe within five years half of all Internet traffic will be encrypted with solutions born from our new API,” Dotcom told us. “I believe in our rights to privacy and legal sharing. I intend to protect those rights when governments are acting in the interest of corporations rather than society and progress,” he added. Whether the new Mega will live up to the MEGA-anticipation will become clear just a month from now. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ande Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Kim doesn't give a F about you or your privacy or your rights, he's thinking only about money.Seems too easy to sentence a guy that shared one DVD, but not so easy to sentence the guy that allowed pirating millions of DVDs and earned millions of dollars.And yet, people so blindly support him.

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 20, 2012 Administrator Share Posted December 20, 2012 Kim doesn't give a F about you or your privacy or your rights, he's thinking only about money. Seems to easy to sentence a guy that shared one DVD, but not so easy to sentence the guy that allowed pirating millions of DVDs and earned millions of dollars. And yet, people so blindly support him. He has become unofficial the front face / leader of pirates. I won't be using his services, but so far he is the only man on the whole earth who has slapped U.S. right on the face for their old generation, corruption oriented, money making anti-piracy aggressiveness. What Kim was accused hasn't been proved yet, on the contrary, what US. did to reach him is out in the open. When US. doesn't follow laws or bends laws for their own benefit, they consider themselves the kings or the victims, but when one guy does this for his own benefit/business, he is a anti-US criminal. What's also note is that Kim had Mega-like and more legal plans before he was arrested, somehow US. had to strike when Kim was planning something good? Why? Because that would take all the money off major studios, so they cried in front of the all mightly king of the world and caught this guy before he changed the industry to a better, new gen way of selling things.
