If you remembered a few months ago Kim Dotcom was arrested for being the founder of file sharing service Megaload. Now it looks like he’s back with another file sharing called Megabox. How long will this site be up until it gets shut down?
Kim Dotcom, the quixotic millionaire founder of file-sharing service Megaupload who’s wanted for extradition to the U.S., returned to Twitter this week to prove to the world he’s still creating new platforms despite his entanglements with law enforcement.
Dotcom also used the new account to announce that “Megabox,†a new music discovery and sharing service, is still on its way despite his still being under arrest. He’s previously said that Megabox, which would compete with similar platforms such as Spotify, would let artists keep almost 90% of the profits made from their music.
Dotcom, arrested in New Zealand after file-sharing service Megaupload was brought down on charges of computer piracy in January, has also been using the reactivated Twitter account (@kimdotcom) mostly to post photos and thank supporters during his ongoing extradition hearing. In true Dotcom style, he’s also been poking fun at his situation, tweeting jokes about the FBI and police.
