It’s only a matter time till he winds up jacking it in San Diego.
^ LOL,
waiting for the remixs of this song…
Mega is back…this time potentially killing copryright laws:
So what’s to stop Mega from going down just the way Megaupload did? Mega’s privacy, which is a no-foolin’ stroke of genius. See, all of your files are encrypted locally before they’re uploaded, so Mega has no idea what anything is. It could be family photos or work documents, or an entire discography of your favorite band. Poof: online and easy to share. And importantly, Mega doesn’t have the decription key necessary to get in. See? It’s a masterstroke of copyright subversion.
To explain further, Mega’s terms say that nobody can access your stuff without your personal decryption key. And they don’t have it. Only you do. The company does, however, stipulate in the privacy policy that they might cooperate with law enforcement. But big deal; what are they going to turn over? When Twitter and Facebook cooperate with the authorities, they have access to your data. All Mega has is an encrypted file.
i read about this a few weeks ago. i wonder if it will work
Well, seeing as how it’s no different than any other cloud storage sevice like drive, dropbox or box.net, I think it will work just fine.
I know they have a solid legal team so it should work.
Lol yeah well see for how long though… on the other hand :tup: for now
The whole argument in the past was megaupload was aware of the content.
Now they can’t be and just rewrite their terms of service saying its on the user.
If it was that easy, dont you think they would have headed that way before the busts…
LE doesnt like when you circumvent the law… and granted the complexities (international/definitional/etc) of this is way beyond anything anyone on here can understand, I bet its just a matter of time before authorities try to find a new way to break this up. I understand that what theyre doing NOW is perfectly legal, but I dont think weve heard the end of this if theyre still doing the volume they had been.
I’m just not seeing it. I upload a black box of copyrighted data, then want to provide it for the world to download. To do that I have to release the key. MPAA/RIAA can see the key with everyone else, so they can prove what’s in the file, and then can go to Mega and demand a takedown and the IP info for the person who uploaded it.
I guess it might legally isolate Mega (as long as they continue to comply with takedown notices) but how this “kills copyright laws” seems like a stretch almost as massive as Kim’s pants.
It’s really straight forward
All the megaupload stuff was conspiracy to commit crimes it was based around “internal” emails and them knowing illegal content was hosted.
At this point its like the motion picture companies trying to file charges against timewarner for your actions…
And lol @ people paying for a service to get free content… again, content creators are going to love that.
Uh people pay for usenet and crap now
This is interesting:
