i’m old enough that i used to copy tapes in a double cassette deck or record off the radio etc and all the so called piracy back then is probably over all the same amount now as then. amount of people doing it i mean.
but they can SEE it nowadays there for they all of a sudden have some big problem with it..

also unless KDC publicly says his long term plan publicly and we assume he’s telling the truth then all we can do is speculate.. and that is enough for many to consider him a martyr/hero and shower the man with cash..
and lets face it there are better plays to dump your money if people so intent on giving it away.. try supporting people that can NOT afford to defend themselves rather than the guy with the mansion and fleet of sports cars etc. lol

I think we should offer you a clue that there are at least five different synonyms on “shit” you might use to keep the audience interested. Simply repeating it over and over again just means you can’t even troll worth crap.

And, to be honest, I for one am rather happy about the fact that someone who can’t use the queen’s english better than some hackneyed football hooligan from kensington “has no respect”.

Oh, and incidentally? Since both your grammar and your spelling in general is shot to hell…Don’t try to appear british if you can’t even hack it in your presumed mother tongue.

Now toddle off and troll wherever you can find a suitable audience to bait, son.

“You really are a prick. You have probably been told that your whole life, but I figured just one more time would not hurt.
Ok lets make it two….YOU ARE A PRICK”

Actually…in real life no one has ever told me that. And on boards such as these I only ever hear it from copyright maximalist cunts who are pissed because I refuse to let them screw me over.

So, with all respect due, when affirmed little stains of asswipe such as you throw me bad names It only gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing I’m doing the right thing.

As of the part of KDC being a hero. Well, you’re right, he’s not, but he is kind of a big (no pun intended) game for the next couple of years.

The reason why people look up to him nowadays is that instead of giving up after all of this, he just decided to start anew and reinvent cyberlockers. Partly because of the money, but also just to be a pain in the ass for the ones who tried to take him down.

The new MEGA will feature encryption on all files and only the account holder will be able to decrypt it (and people who get the key). This will give MEGA total deniability as they just can’t know what’s on their servers. The only thing they can see is encrypted files.

They also will be working with multiple hosting providers: any hosting provider can just “connect” and offer storage (and they too won’t be able to know what’s on their servers).

And although MEGA probably will be taking down links in order to comply with DCMA, this kind of is a big deal. Even if authorities want to get all files associated with an account, they won’t be able to decrypt them (as not even MEGA is able to do so, only the user himself). Again total deniability and total privacy for your files.

By doing this they ensure there is no possible way for them to be considered anything other than a legal company. And this will become a real thorn in the eye of the MPAA and the other outfits.

If the entertainment industries try to take them down, (which will be near to impossible because of the chaotic hosting provider design), they will only make their illegal corrupt actions even more high profile. KDC is actually challenging them. And the more mistakes these outfits make, the better, right? Especially if they have no effect whatsoever.

Now, I know you’re upset that this is just a company out to make money for filesharing, but in a way by starting this KDC leads us to the next big thing that can reside on the same level as Bittorrent: very difficult to takedown, encrypted traffic, but fully legal (as being a generic cyberlocker). Plus, you can be certain that KDC will be investing a part of the money to protect this business. So he will be fighting, if not just for self-interest. And because he will be making a lot of money, unlike some of the bittorrent indexing sites, he will be able to afford a grand army of lawyers.

It’s great to just have options. I’m sure Mega will also take a little bit of the heat of the piratebay and other torrent indexing site as well. And maybe by launching this cyberlocker there will come a day when our opponents may finally come to the conclusion that resistance is futile. (which is also good for us)

So no, KDC is not a hero, but our interests are aligned.

because she stood up to the US govt ?
really ?

well fuck me lol
Hell i’ll stand up to the US govt..
i want a fleet of dump trucks to back up cash to my feet !

Go ahead guys but i would consider putting your money in a more appropriate place such as the many people and organizations that REALLY DO NEED YOUR MONEY
and
Who are actually CONFIRMED fighting for file sharing rights !
You guys could be helping the people that NEED help defending themselves.. such as ALL the other file hosters who got shut down but weren’t rich like KDC so had no choice but to bend of backwards and taker it in the ass from the DOJ etc

But hey its not my decision where you guys wanna spend your money..
go ahead and make the rich even richer while other file sharing victims are taken down because they can’t afford to defend themselves financially.

He was treated unfairly and he better win his case !
I wish him luck with his future business ideas, BUT
lets be realistic here about his role as the leader & fighter for File Sharing supporters.

If he wants to battle for file sharing rights great !
But is this what is happening or has he positioned himself so that people will back up dump trucks of money on him because he was a victim with megaupload ?
I seen comments on this page where people were saying that they are going to throw tons of cash at KDC’s new business to screw the MAFIAA !
And then of course the huge pile of “likes”.
i gotta shake my head..

Have I or have I not painted a picture here ?
With so MANY comments no one has any opinion on what i said ?
Was i not explaining myself very well ?

As usual i feel like i am the guy standing by himself watching people drink the purple Koolaid ..shaking my head in disappointment.

by the way i DO like purple Koolaid too ..I’m drinking it right now lol
