Me.ga Hackers: We’re Real Pirates & We’ll Sell Dotcom’s Domain To Universal

A Gabon government minister has said that his country will not be used as a base for committing copyright infringement and has announced that his country will seize the new Me.Ga domain. But while Dotcom blames the United States and entertainment company Vivendi, a group of hackers say they have taken over the domain. Speaking with TorrentFreak the group say that they are the true pirates and that Dotcom is a megalomaniac. “He himself is an industry, only here to pollute,” they say.

On January 20, 2013 Kim Dotcom is set to launch the successor to Megaupload, along with a promise for it to be bigger and better than before.

In anticipation of opposition, Dotcom previously revealed that the site would use encryption to boost the site’s safe harbor protections. Furthermore, it would not use a .com domain as these are easily seized by the United States government.

But, after announcing less than a week ago that the site would use the Me.ga domain, already the plan has run into trouble from not one but apparently two different directions.

First, and just hours ago, came news that the Communications Minister of Gabon, the African country where .ga domains are based, would be suspending the Me.ga domain.

“I have instructed my departments to immediately suspend the site www.me.ga,” announced Communication Minister Blaise Louembe.

“Gabon cannot serve as a platform or screen for committing acts aimed at violating copyrights, nor be used by unscrupulous people,” the minister said.

Dotcom’s reaction was aimed squarely at the United States.

“The reach of the US & Vivendi: Gabon Minister announced Me.ga domain will be suspended. Calls cloud storage site cyber crime,” he wrote.

The reference to entertainment company Vivendi comes after a Numerama article last week which revealed that the TLD of Gabon is administered by Gabon Telecom, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Vivendi entertainment group.

Dotcom added this morning that Mega will launch as planned.

“Don’t worry. We have an alternative domain,” he explained. “This just demonstrates the bad faith witch hunt the US government is on.”

But while the threat of a seizure is obvious, what isn’t so clear is what is happening to the domain right now.

For the last few hours the Me.Ga domain has been directing, via France, to a group calling themselves Omega.

In an initial Tweet from an account created just four hours ago, Omega quote the words of German philosopher Max Stirner from his piece Art and Religion.

“Art is the beginning, the Alpha of religion, but it is also its end, its Omega,” they write.

Omega are also operating from a Gabon domain – Ome.ga – and according to comments obtained by TorrentFreak, they appear to have little respect for Dotcom.

“We’re pure in a diogenist way, we’re the true pirates, the true anarchists,” Omega told us. “Kim Dotcom is only taking advantage of us all, he is a megalomaniac with lawyers here to take advantage of us all, the nobodies, the artists he wants to profit from.”

Omega then go on to compare Dotcom to his old music industry adversary from the 2011 Mega Song takedown debacle.

“Kim Dotcom is not better nor worse than Universal. He himself is an industry, only here to pollute,” Omega add.

The group says that they now control the Me.Ga domain and are prepared to do the unthinkable – sell it to Dotcom’s adversaries.

“Of course we will entertain offers from @KimDotcom’s enemies in the millions of dollars (or bitcoins) for the Me.ga domain,” they write.

“Shall @UMG [Universal Music] buy the Me.ga domain name we will donate not 1% but 10% of the proceeds to FOJEGA the Forum des Jeunes du Gabon [Gabon Youth Forum],” they conclude.

I agree with every word Omega has said. Dotcom is fooling us all into thinking he’s actually on our side and cares about us pirates. In the end he is just another businessman looking to milk as much cash as possible from us and the artists. Screw him!

      What a quick change of heart. So, after months of pleading and cheering, Dotcom is no good anymore, because of a hacker statement? Some people’s gullibility is unbelievable. Let’s hope than that somebody else will come and take on the entertainment industry, pro bono, of course.

      If he gives a web fully usable and useful to share files for a long time, who the hell cares about the rest? Obviously, somebody cares but just waste time with propagandas. “Oh, no, he’s this or that”. So? Many people used Megaupload and never cared about what he did, because they had Megaupload ready to be used.

      There are no hackers involved.. Vivendi’s subdivisiary administrates the domain and they definetely gave control to this group of theirs. Who is gonna stop them? Gabon’s law? They ‘ll go “ooohh shiny…” as Vivendi shows them some money.

      NEWS FLASH: The RIAA/MPAA are not the only ones trolling these discussion boards. Copyright is now a matter of national security in the US – to supposedly protect jobs and economy from foreign criminals and thieves. The US are using the same tactics that they use in terrorism cases, including extreme diplomatic pressure (on New Zealand and Gabon). These tactics include trolling discussion boards and forums (just like jihad sites) to confuse the enemy.
      
      The US will try anything to stop Dotcom, to prevent him from defending himself, and to keep the law murky so they can continue to use it to shut down websites, particularly foreign ones that cannot easily afford to defend themselves in the US.

  Well he did say that he would spend a lot of money to cheapen internet costs in New Zealand, so I’m waiting to see if he keeps his words there. If he does, I guess it’ll show that he isn’t particularly trying to maximize profit like Universal, making him, while not perfect, slightly better
  - Evo
    
    But didn’t he want to fund that with money he’ll never get from suing the US government and Hollywood?
    - downunder
      
      No he was going to be part funder to it with other funds coming from other business sectors.. he said the new mega site could fund majority of it however the cliche is they have to have permission from usa to linkt he cable to them! which being a-hs they wont let happen so NZ looses out yet again when the line is so much needed there
      
      and perhaps the hackers are the same ones that took out demonoid? gov hackers as real hackers should only cause interference with gov stuff if they have a brain or conscience
    - Guest
      
      @downunder You can sure bet that if Mega does launch that the US will point blankly refuse to allow a cable link from NZ to US until Mega and Dotcom ceases to exist.

  So he should spend millions of dollars on providing everyone with a free file storage site and not monetize it at all?
  - Shamu
    
    This is one way to put it.
    The other way of looking at it is;
    He’s spending money to make money. Hes using his publicity to his economic advantage by creating a shitstorm of hype & “excitement” for his business ventures, and creating extreme hate towards the United States entertainment associations, fueling the popularity and anticipation of anything he says he is going to launch.
- Random
  
  I don’t agree with this at all!! Dotcom never said he was on our side, its everyone else who just viewed him as such.
  He is exactly as you say “a businessman” milking people for cash is exactly what business men do. I don’t agree with what omega is doing at all, to be honest they sound as bad as dotcom, just egotistical people thinking what they are doing is right.

  These so-called Omega hackers are obviously the MAFIAA’s lackeys running a smear campaign against Kim Dotcom. We’re the only supporters that Kim Dotcom has, and they’re trying to turn us – the real pirates – against him.
  
  NO REAL PRO-PIRACY GROUP WOULD ATTACK A MAN WHO IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH A SERVICE THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE MAFIAA AND THEN SELL HIS ASSETS TO THE MAFIAA.
  
  IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
  
  THIS IS BASIC PSYOPS PEOPLE.
  
  THINK ABOUT IT.
  
  They’re trying to play us against our only real corporate ally. No, Kim Dotcom is not perfect, but he realizes who the real enemy is – the MAFIAA – and he’s helping us fight them.

      Kindly gtfo. The guy you’re replying to is obviously a little paranoid but the notion that people are trying to play us against Kim Dotcom is pretty compelling. If Omega truly cared about artists rights they wouldn’t be willing to sell a domain to a distributor. Yes that’s a right, a distributor makes money off of other people’s creations just like Kim Dotcom, except Dotcom will do it much more cheaper.

      even if thats true, i’ll support the first person who gives us the change we are looking for. And it looks like thats going to be KDC. I dont see anyone else with the money, the balls and the desire to do this. Once the public mindshare share has been won for new distribution concepts we can look to the next steps (new people, new businesses). I think KDC needs to succeed first. I’m going to buy from him if its a good deal.

  I don’t think anyone is fool enough to believe KDC is in business for anyone but himself. That is why most people go into business. That said, while megaupload may have been used for infringement, so have many cyberlocker/cloud storage sites. Unlike many, KDC not only implemented DMCA takedowns but also granted backend access to media companies. Yet the MAFIAA painted him as the main source of cloud piracy in report after report trying to get the US gov to act, even though the
  evidence the MAFIAA withheld contradicted their claims. The IFPI released report showing that the volume of pirate traffic from mega was negligble compared to other lockers especially when mega’s market share and total traffic was taken into account. The gov acted purely on MAFIAA claims and distorted interpretation of the working of the site.
  
  What has followed has been a travesty of justice, not only for KDC but his legit users.
  
  They have walked over sites without due process before. This
  time they have met their match and if kdc can give the doj and their mafiaa paymasters a good kicking (on behalf of us all) good
  luck to him.

  - Scary_Devil_Monastery
    
    Well, the thing is, dotcom is a real entrepreneur. He wants to get wealthy by launching a service. Fine.
    
    Here’s why I choose to give him benefit of doubt – you think there is any way he might conceivably make the same amount of dough on a similar service without painting a big target on his back?
    
    I think there is. If he was only in it for the money he’d be getting real rich effortlessly and without risk just by peddling “pirate-catcher products” to the MPAA/RIAA.

  Still it’s pretty fucking convenient that these so called “hackers” took it. I mean really if the Gabon government is just gonna ban it anyways what is the fucking point? I’ll tell you it’s the hackers that took it are not fucking hackers to begin with.. It’s the fucking Gabon government pulling the ol 1-2 to make a few bucks and by that I mean a lot in terms to any normal people.
  
  Why do I know this? It’s what I would fucking do if they’re dumb enough to pay for it. It’s for sure a dick move against Dotcom but the Gabon government knows that Universal is fucking loaded.
  
  What will this do against Mega? Most likely nothing they’ll launch and nobody is gonna stop it. It’s not like it’s new news that Dotcom is money hungry we’ve known that for fucking years.
  
  Why did people start to like him more? Because the government stepped in to play private police and fucked millions of people out of their files. They had no right to do what they did. They turned Dotcom that I considered a scumbag back in the day into my fucking hero.

  He is, of course, on his own side. That side stands to gain much if our side wins.
  
  I don’t see the problem. If Dotcom was the major player in the field he’d need far closer supervision lest he make of with the liberties of his clients and customers…
  
  But as it stands, even if you don’t like Dotcom, coming down against his adversaries is of benefit to us as well.

    Nobody is claiming he would have. It doesn’t change the fact that your response is a silly straw man. The entertainment industry is very tight with the White House, not least through Biden’s and Dodd’s friendship, which means the Obama administration has and will go to great length in protecting them. That’s bad news for pirates and for people who think the rule of law should prevail over business interests.

  You might want to elaborate when making such claims, although you make an interesting observation. The author of the article, enigmax, is probably not a big fan of Dotcom. Many here have claimed he’s not that fond of piracy either. I wouldn’t know, as I rarely take not of who wrote the article.

Dotcom was actually onto something good; Me.ga would be been legit, legal, safe, etc. But nope, take it down anyway.

Apparently, they could see into the future and see that it had already copyright infringed – like, what the hell?

    Well it certainly didn’t take long for the US to have a word with Gabon to pull the plug. I wonder what the US threatened to do to Gabon if they didn’t pull the plug. If the country Ecuador has there own domain perhaps Dotcom should get a domain with them. If Ecuador does not extradite people to the US then there is little chance I hope that they will shutdown a domain on the behest of the US.

      Don’t go to Ecuador until after the presidential election next February – and then only if Correa is re-elected. The CIA are already trying to rig that election so Correa loses and an FSA* friendly lackey takes power. And that’s just because of Wikileaks/Asange.

    Yes, that Me Dot Ga was the deal, not the country, even it was short and easy to remember. But there’s a chance he thought that having a domain in Gabon it would give a protection to his new project.

Smug quotes from people who couldn’t invent a better political system themselves? What have these to do with Mega…?
http://twitter.com/MichealKennedy Mike Kennedy

Their Twitter says: “Ome.ga [o.me.ga] is the future of music, 100% of the earnings will go to artists.”

So, they stole the domain to use for themselves. An incredible lowlife thing to do. Couldn’t compete the ol’ honest way – ya know, actually creating something good that people wanted; they had to go and steal it – or least, the domain name to it.

Lazy thieving hypocrites.

  It’s not about the money (nor about sending a message).

  They are sure to have back-up domains and the seize of their .com domain would make a nice first strike warning system.
  
  As to why they are not seized then the DHS’s ICE team only go after domains when they are also identify the owners and where they stand a good chance of bringing them to face US injustice.

    The best weapon against a group of people you don’t like, and the competition they support is to cause in-fighting amongst them. Keep them distracted as you wrap rope around their necks and kick the stands from beneath their feet.
    
    You gotta think outside the box when you’re dealing with a group like us (pirates), and a nigh-unkillable entity that is Mega and Dotcom and The Pirate Bay and etc.. They’ve been trying to do this shit against The Pirate Bay, and failed time and time again.
    
    All we need is awareness of what’s going on, and address it accordingly. Either these guys are brainwashed “pirates” since Obama won (as with most every other outlet I’ve observed since last night), were held ransom and are acting accordingly under threat of extradition, or are MAFIAA lackeys in disguise, and we’re falling for it (mind you, they put a paper bag over their head with a smiley on it, and we’re falling for an “anonymous” charade.
    
    Zero-trust policy, everyone. Don’t trust anyone unless you are absolutely certain they are who you think they are. I call bullshit on their being pirates. Their timing is far too convenient, their methods are sloppy, they have unrealistic standards with their operation, and they have more arrogance than a teenager on 4chan. I call bullshit that they’re pirates whatsoever.
    
    These “Omegas” are “thinking like omegas”. They have a big picture, and that’s all they have, and are only striking in that direction. Oddly enough, such a tactic is an insult to the classification of being an Omega.
    
    They’re not Alphas which are go-getters with a greater intent to push on and move forward, like The Pirate Bay; They’re not Betas which lie back and adjust with the current and the tides, like Demonoid (I still pray for your return); they’re not Deltas who think outside the box, and strike from a different angle, even taking visage like the enemy in order to fight on equal ground against them like Dotcom and Me.Ga. They’re not even proper Omegas. A proper Omega does have a big picture and operate on it; but an Omega is also a Gestalt entity in which unifies the whole picture, being greater than that of the sum of it’s parts, and addresses it in as few moves as necessary, while achieving separate goals in it’s wake in the process. An Omega acts like a single entity while being composed of several. A pirate community operates this classification better than just this one Omega team.
    
    Now what is the Alpha and the Omega in all these regards? What is the ‘god’ of our beliefs here? A freedom of speech, a unified belief in fairness and transparency, and access to everything under the sun fairly, in order to progress mankind, not hinder it. Our belief in this is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End of the Internet. The Principality and Power behind communication globally, and eventually, to interstellar proportions.
    
    TL;DR, These guys are dicks, don’t fall for them being one of us, don’t believe everything under the sun, and We, as pirates and etc. are better than this. Either they’re kids or MAFIAA lackeys, and they have crappy disguises we’re falling for, and post-elections, I am ashamed you’re all falling for the crappiest disguise I’ve seen in ages.

      what are you talking about? Omega, Beta, Delta? Where did you come up with these names and what do they mean? anyone else confused?
    - Gen. Eric Guy
      
      I suppose you don’t classify things? Like how we have Alpha Wolves, Beta Males and whatnot? I never really heard past Alpha and Beta, and seldom Delta (and I only really saw that associated with unorthodox or psychotic teams and etc.) in regards to using the Greek alphabet to classify things; so I expanded on the list a tad. I’m surprised none of it was picked up on. I thought I was making it clear. At least, according to the ‘like’ counts before these posts, others got it immediately. Anyway classifications tend to go as follows:
      
      Alpha = Leaders, Active
      Beta = Adaptive, Passive
      Delta = Unorthodox, Unusual
      Epsilon = Elitist
      Kappa = Defeatist
      Gamma = Follower
      Rho = Rogue
      Lambda = Objective
      Omega = Collective
      
      Unless there’s a clearer list that sounds similar/better expanded/explained, I’m sticking with this (incomplete) list for now.
      
      Nonetheless, It seems some you kids need to learn some basic rules of context clues and critical thinking, and a few other basic skills. I mean, if I need to explain it to you a second (maybe even a 3rd or 4th) time if you didn’t pick it up the first time. It shames me that this is the kind of people that voted… pretty much every election for the past couple decades. Our education system needs a total revamp.
      
      Oh, BTW, I was basing off their name. A little something called ‘wordplay’ was in use. But I suppose you didn’t pick that up immediately until I had to explain it again. Are there any other speech anomalies I need to clarify, besides my posting in general (common predictable response, BTW)?

Violated0

This without doubt is all the work of the copyright cartels in the USA. They always like a multi-pronged attack and it seems these days they want to face technology with technology and hackers with hackers.

Lets keep in mind that only last week did Joe Biden sit down with the MPAA to discuss policy during one of their board meetings. It is not hard to imagine a plan involving threats or bribes to Gabon.

Well what can you say about innocent until proven guilty when the one aspect Mega has shown to demonstrate is a desire to follow the law. Sure infringement exists but there is also lawful infringement in terms of fair use, backups and even DMCA safe-harbour. The other side seem to be the proven law breakers.

It is anyway nice to see the copyright cartels take this new Mega service threat seriously when them encrypting everything would make the monitoring job of the copyright cartels a thousand times worse. When this service launches then they will soon feel the pain.

Well since attacking the domain provides only little gain then these copyright cartels sure need to step up their game if they don’t want this service launching.

To end on a message for Omega spoken by someone who knows the enjoyment of borrowing company domains then once the fun is over then make sure you hand this me.ga domain back. It is not your property and you sure as hell can’t lawfully sell what you have unlawfully taken.

    Yes but today is not as bad as the day George W. Bush got reelected when it was an unforgivable act when US voters give him his second term. Sure not everyone voted for him but second place just does not count.
    
    At least with Obama no one has to die, he is not wasting huge sums of money (much) and even their unwelcomed attack on infringement is prone to much failure.
    
    I would also tend to believe ICE’s domain seizure scheme would collapse once a suitable high level court gets to rule on it but for now the DoJ and ICE like to drop a case when they face losing to avoid such a ruling.
    
    The file-sharing world when under pressure will also quickly evolve like this me.ga service shows the answer to the problems this economy faces. So maybe these next few years is the push we need to roll out second generation encrypted and secure services.

  i know one person named omega and while he is a pirate he is a very junior hacker….and would not have such skills.
  SO one has to ask ….
  how easy is it to seize a domain. WHOM would have a reason and why?
  
  what does the hacker gain ?
  - Violated0
    
    The question of who did it depends on how much security was in place to prevent this happening. We both know that most hacks happen through simple weak and flawed security.
    
    It is easy to seize a domain when you have access to the Admin email address ideally through webmail so you can delete all trace of the domain transfer. You need the registrar l/p of course but weak security can access that through a password reset request.
    
    As to the reason why then I would point my finger at the MPAA myself. The most simple answer is usually the right answer.
  - Scary_Devil_Monastery
    
    “Us hackers”?
    
    My guess is it’s either a bunch of script kids from Gabon who found a convenient way of ransoming a domain name in the hopes the payoff would be big…
    
    …or it’s an outsourced effort bought and paid for by some third-world-operated MPAA/RIAA subsidiary. Remember Aiplex?

To kill the omega pirate, first you need to destroy his 4 plates on his body. You can either destroy each plate with 1 super missile or you can fire charged up plasma beam shots. I would suggest using plasma beam if you have less than 170 missiles. Once you destroyed the four plates he will call for help and disapear!

- Violated0
  
  Even I find it hard to believe that the Government would aim to shut down a service even before it launches. What is this predictive crime now? They will look into the future and stop people they believe would commit crimes?
  
  Normally law services would wait until the service launches and then collect items that they like to call “evidence” before taking action granted to them by the law.
  
  Make no mistake that this is certainly no act supported by law. This is instead a very political mandate going from Chris Dodd to Joe Biden to the US Administration. This is simply the US War on infringement and like usual they don’t care a flying fuck about following the law.
  
  Mega can certainly find a better law abiding country than what Gabon is. Still maybe Gabon’s Communication Minister, Blaise Louembe has been fooled by the usual propaganda spewed out by the copyright cartels.

Kim has always had one get rich sceme after another. He had this Kimvestor scam going on for a while where he stole money from investors, think bernie madoff.

For the longest time he had pictures of all his worldly adventures posted on his page kimble.org. Private island, private boats with helicopter landing pads on them. Jets, you name it. He was showing everyone they could be rich by investing in his crap too. Really he was stealing their money and living off it but hey!

You guys named it. Kims just another piece of shit trying to make a buck off someone. Plenty of other companies offer the same thing he does. Kims pretty much irrelevant now.

  You really think that US diplomats have nothing to do with this? They’re usually pretty good at “convincing” politicians to do as they want.
  - delafield44
    
    Certainly, US diplomats had something to do with it. What is disturbing is that if the Kim Dotcom case has risen to that level, then this is more than just a criminal copyright trial. As I mentioned in a different post, copyright enforcement has become a matter of national security and the US are applying all the same tactics that are used in other national security matters – like terrorism. They have and will continue to break the law to keep Kim Dotcom down. They will troll sites like this and post crap to discredit Kim – to deflect the issues from the real issues.
    
    I don’t care about Kim’s past frankly. I’m concerned about the future and what the US are doing.

Well they are right in some points, but the good thing about .com is that he fights back and stands up to bigger businness and is making music affordable again without a big 3rd party between the artists and the consumers… Which I think is a good thing. Everybody wins and bye bye$ musiclabels. If he cannot win this, we are doomed in every way you can imagine, not just entertainment, but food, wars, freedom of speach everything.

    Sweden should still seize the .se domain to show that this country does not support criminality.

      Even if Sweden did seize the .se TPB will still be up and running within the hour. 10 years TPB has been in operation and any attempt by Sweden or any other country for that matter has failed to shut it down. Not even the seizure of the .se name will be the end of TPB you of all people should know that.

      Pirate Bay is an according to the relevant judicial system fully legal operation, something you know very well.
    - Scary_Devil_Monastery
      
      And do you even have the slightest clue how many fully legal businesses that would put out of operation?
      
      Seriously, your stated opinion is noted. What it means translated in real life is that because one person in a city has been found not to pay the water bill, you should shut off the main water supply to said city.
      
      Did someone rob poor NTP of his nickname? His arguments seem to be even further off the beaten track of sanity than usual.

  Even if TPB does get shutdown it will be back up within an hour.
  - http://nejtillpirater.wordpress.com/ Nejtillpirater
    
    No, TPB was down almost 48 hours when PRQ was raided recently, probably because they were stupid enough to route traffic through the PRQ servers in Sweden.
    - Violated0
      
      Well now TPB are on the Cloud and is kept encrypted to stop local admins from seeing what it is. They can also switch between Cloud providers within an hour should they have the need.
      
      While TPB did have a forward facing server at PRQ they also had local hardware failure that had to be manually replaced on ordered parts. Their Cloud service now stops a repeat of this problem.
    - Guest
      
      Even if that was 48 they still came back up YES still came back up and they still remain operating. It must really hurt you that they are still operating.
    - http://profiles.google.com/zerianis10 Christopher Kidwell
      
      Uh, no. They were down because of a power outage somewhere which happened at the same time as the PRQ raids. Yes, at first it does seem a little too coincidental, but I can believe in this case.
    - Scary_Devil_Monastery
      
      Indeed. And thanks to that test, TPB is now secured from similar assaults in the future.
      
      Well, NTP, it must feel grand for you when you can jubilantly cheer that TPB was off line for a “whopping” 48 hours. Congratulations?
      
      And what did that cost the Swedish taxpayer?
- delafield44
  
  By “do the right thing”, you mean sieze property without hearing or trial? Sieze property over an alleged future crime? A thought crime? First, this is nothing like the piratebay.se. Second, Sweden has at least some independence from the US and would not stand for such diplomatic pressure from the US. The Gabon government, on the other hand, they are too weak and corrupt to withstand the US.

    TPB has already been in trial, the persons responsible have been convicted to jail.

      > “TPB has already been in trial, the persons responsible have been convicted to jail.”
      
      Two previous operators, a previous press spokesman and a previous somewhat unrelated person has been to trial with several according to both the European and Swedish constitutions biased judges, but that their individual actions was sentenced does not mean that Pirate Bay has been to trial, or that it is illegal today. Maybe i need to explain the judicial system to you once again, since you seem to forget so quickly?
      
      What things or actions that are generally considered illegal according to the judicial system is decided by precedent sentences, which there exists none in this matter. Until a precedent sentence exists, the judicial system considers every possible action to be legal.
      
      The Pirate Bay sentences are not precedent, and they do not under any circumstances decide what’s generally illegal. They only show that certain specific actions where deemed illegal when committed by certain specific and tried individuals, under those, and only those particular circumstances(and in addition those circumstances no longer applies). Those sentences does in no way say that certain acts are generally illegal performed during all different kind of circumstances by all individuals.
      
      That’s how the judicial system actually works. An indisputable fact that you can verify with any court official. Have you done that, or are you to afraid of reality and learning how the judicial system actually works?
    - Scary_Devil_Monastery
      
      When, if I may ask, did “TPB” go to trial?
      
      And can you please present any relevant document stating that “The Pirate Bay” is an illegal operation?
      
      No, didn’t think so. Nor will you. If your arguments ever even half-matched with reality, no company who’s CEO had been found to be guilty of literally anything would today be in legal business.
      
      Which would mean, quite literally, that most major banks could not be legal either, for instance.
      
      Your ability to draw false conclusions out of hyberpole and irrelevance hasn’t failed you yet, i see…

  “nor be used by unscrupulous people,” the minister said”
  
  And yet there are unscrupulous people in Gabon scamming the world out of money with email scams etc. So you think its ok for a country to deny something by someone that hasn’t even been set up because it thinks its unscrupulous and yet have its own unscrupulous citizens scamming people. Good luck on supporting Gabon because you think you they are doing you with a favour because you dislike piracy when they are scamming people themselves. Besides Dotcom has already got another domain for Mega and I bet this is going to be a dislike to you.

      and Mega has not committed any crime because it has not even been launched yet and yet the domain gets seized for what something believes in and since when has believing in something been a crime. Anyway Dotcom has a new domain name and I bet you are already thinking “lets get this domain shutdown down by any means possible even if the means to do so is illegal”

- Fredrika
  
  > “..I wish Sweden would do the same with thepiratebay.se”
  
  Since, as you are fully aware of, Pirate Bay is considered fully legal according to the relevant judicial system, Sweden obviously should do nothing.
- Scary_Devil_Monastery
  
  You mean a bunch of hackers illegally seizing a domain is a good thing if you perceive this to be harmful to whomever you don’t like?
  
  And the swedish authorities should shut down a fully legal service based primarily on just your own opinion?

That’s assuming they allow the Amazon Rain Forest to have the remainder of its trees cut down to facilitate a coffin being made which he can fit in…
- delafield44
  
  I do not care about Kim’s past and neither should you. I care about the illegal tactics used by the US and what it means for the future of the Internet – regardless of copyright violations.
  
  The US is making up criminal law to apply against Kim Dotcom. This made-up law was challenged in the rojadirecta.com case, and the charges were dropped so as not to overturn a messed-up, wrong interpretation of the law.
- Violated0
  
  Kim Dotcom’s crimes happened during his much younger years and much due to his inexperience and foolishness.
  
  Anyway since it has been well over 10 years then under German law this conviction has been erased from his record. So he now has a clean slate with no crimes held against him.
  
  Since then he has led the life of a responsible family man only now subject to the injustice of countries who cannot follow their own laws. Anyway at minimum he deserves the right to be classed as innocent until prove guilty.
  - 1hhh1
    
    Actually,he’s wanted in Germany
- Gen. Eric Guy
  
  Obviously, the term “penance” has never come across your unforgivable mind.
  
  Kim, overtime, may have learned from his past, realized he was being a bit of an asshole back then, and has been working on using what ill-gotten goods he may have obtained as resources to uphold what it means to be a pirate and/or everyday shmo that surfs the internet. Think of it like “My Name is Earl”. He did bad, and got bad in return, realizing his ways, he’s giving back what he has taken, and though bad luck still interferes, he’s doing a colossal amount of good, and if anything else, is redeeming himself over time. When all this blows over, he’ll be celebrated, not hated; and in return for his efforts, he will have a successful legitimate business, with w new model that can be practiced, evolving an ancient form that has been hostile to change for clearly over a century.
  
  He’s amongst the few people left that can actually fight against the MAFIAA, and win. Mind you, entirely by legal means. That is not easy to do unless you have crap-ton of money and resources. Like I stated, although initially ill-gotten, he can still use them in order to fund his strike back, and undo the damage once did, or at least, repent for his past transgressions.
  
  Even bad people can turn good again. Corporations, however, are not people. MAFIAA is pretty much a cabal of corporations. They can never turn good again, nor redeem themselves.
  
  Give Kim a chance. He’s doing what most of us are incapable of doing. Fighting the MAFIAA on equal grounds, or at least, trying to make them play fair. Every time he is equal-level with them, they unbalance things more and more, always having the higher ground just as he reaches them.
  
  Despite their pasts, who do you think is playing more fair? The MAFIAA, or Dotcom?

  Replace “Kim” with “the music industry”, and you’d surely find yourself in the middle of a shitstorm.
  - Scary_Devil_Monastery
    
    The difference being that as far as I know Kim hasn’t swindled any of his customers or clientéle.
    
    The same can not be said for the music industry. Somewhere you need to draw the distinction between, say, putting your trust in the friendly Nigerian prince who just needs your account number and a little money in order to share his millions with you (that would be the music industry), and a normal broker who also needs you to disclose your account number.
    
    Obviously some businesses are built on trust and others are built of fail. The music industry would make even Capone come out smelling like roses.
    - isawsasquatch
      
      With all due respect (and I truly mean that), if you don’t work for the music industry, I suspect you have about as much insight into how it works as you do Dotcom’s operation.

      That right there tells me quite a lot on how the music industry works in practice. Now if Dotcom’s operation produces similar fallout, naturally we’d have to reevaluate the position on how bad each one is, relatively speaking.
      
      The point is that insight in the workings isn’t needed when what you are after is empirical data of the end result.
      And the end results are quite clear that the music industry is as trustworthy as a pack of rabid sharks on bad acid. Whereas Dotcom, albeit being slightly malodorous, is still running a business based on consumer trust.

  The US Gov’t would not want to wait until launch for two reasons. First, the goal is to prevent Dotcom from *raising money* form investors to start the new Mega. This Gabon affair makes investors wary. (Dotcom has been seeking investment for the new Mega, as he cannot fund it himself.) The US Gov’t do not want the new Mega business to get off the ground because then Dotcom would have money to defend himself in court. (Although some NZ funds have been released, not enough to pay his lawyers, and none to pay his US lawyers.)
  
  The US Gov’t do not want Kim Dotcom to be able to defend himself because they realize the criminal charges are on thin legal grounds. When rojadirecta.com challenged similar criminal charges, the US Gov’t dropped the charges out of fear that their wrong interpretation of the law would be overturned.
  
  Second, if the US Gov’t waited until launch, then they would be taking down a real business. That would subject the whole affair to much more public scrutiny. Right now, it is just a name with no business.
  - delafield44
    
    If it is not clear, I think that two things have happened here: First the Gabon Gov’t takes away the domain (under pressure from the US Gov’t). Second, hackers take over the site (which may or may not be related to the first..

What idiot would back piracy and then run all over kim dotcom for being a corperation. Kim dotcom is our only hope, he is one of the rare few who actually has the means and resources to combat the MAFIAA yet you idiots sit here and argue about his being rich as something to do with being a megelomaniac and not a true pirate. You people truely are the biggest idiots i’ve ever had the pleasure of lecturing.

  Thanks for the enlightening lecture prof. Are we going to get graded on the vast amount of information you covered? I hope not, cuz an imaginary dog is going to eat my homework.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the phrase “we are real pirates” means “we are the real kind of pirates, not IP infringers, but people who steal and kill in open sea”. Gabon does have a coast, after all.

Neither MAFIAA nor Kim have ever dealt with real pirates. And, by the way, real pirates have enough money to bribe some corrupt officers (in a failed state, that’s really easy to do)

What is this? Of course he’s not a pirate and he doesn’t claim to be, he runs a legitimate business. This is why he’s going to court to defend his business. Oh wait….. I get it, you guys work for the government.

Kim Dotcom just hosted a file upload and download site, who cares whether he did it in good intentions or bad intentions.

You guys should remember that you’re talking about intentions and ideology on something as simple as file downloading on the Internet for crying out loud.

It sounds like you guys wouldn’t be satisfied until either: no file hosts exist, or Kim Dotcom and every file hosting site owner comes out as a bearded, peace-shirt wearing libertarian who preaches for freedom.

Is anyone surprised a black government took advantage of the situation to make money ?
Corruption there is high for a reason. Black people are shady and untrustworthy and most of all very stupid.

They sell out the less evil guy kim to the big evil guys making the big evil guys even more powerful.

You are supposed to support competition to make the biggest evil guy weaker you stupid morons !

This will not make my opinion change for the better.

Funny, Gabon say both are evil yet they stole the domain and wants to sell, sell ! a domain allegedly to serve pirate content back to MPAA.
Doesn’t MPAA think it is illegal to pay for pirated content, will not MPAA break their own rules if they buy the domain ?
Perhaps MPAA will put legal actions on Gabon so they get the domain for free ?
Prosecute Gabon for trying to sell access to illegal content ?

“Kim Dotcom is only taking advantage of us all, he is a megalomaniac with lawyers here to take advantage of us all, the nobodies, the artists he wants to profit from.”

-.-” Mega is suppose to be a locker, a could service. How is DotCom taking advantage of me with this encrypted free service???, well probably advertisement but that’s all! Only he, his family and maybe his team are gonna be rich, we are gonna have freemium services and the artist are gonna be justly recompensed with other of the services that he is gonna launch. That’s all!!!

I’m completely sure that it is the USA government trying to driver our attention to something stupid. In this article we all are viewers of a circus.
Right now I’m gonna stop wasting my time with that and re-direct my attention to the important things, for example, Gabon government has block me.ga domain and the minister has spoken with a very similar USA powerful people words.

So the dumbasses claim to have taken the domain in opposition to someone making money, and they then say they’re going to *sell* the domain, thus making THEM money. Oh the hypocrisy. What a bunch of ignorant tools. Darwin has failed us.

Hahaha. I think this is great. You people on this site really have no clue that kim Dotcom could care less about anything other than money. Sure he wants to destroy record labels and everything else only to take their place and be able to hold artist at gun point. This man is honestly now comparable to any other cult leader that has come and gone. TF has become his flock. Bunch of blind fucking idiots on here.

You’d all drink the punch if he said so..

  How would he possible hold artists at gun point? It’s obvious you are the one drinking the nut punch. Might wanna take some pink pills with that punch.
  - HustleHard
    
    What the fuck you mean “how would it be possible?” The Labels do it now. You dont think somebody can come along and do it too? If he’s the only game in town which is what he’s trying to accomplish it would be very simple for him to do the exact same thing thats been done to all these artist for years.
    
    Shouldn’t have even replied to you. You’re obviously an idiot but I was bored.
    - Gacek
      
      Big record labels came. Maybe Dotcom will take their place… but then someday maybe somone will take Dotcom’s place. Its irrelvant.
      If artists will not want to, they will not sign contract.
      10% fee per song is more fair than taking 90% of artist revenue, isn’t it?
    - Gacek
      
      Also. It’s like comparing Microsoft and Google. Both do buisness for cash. But google cares more about open and free internet. While Microsoft cares to make game developers (artists) bound to DirectX. Hope ya get my point :)

to think Dotcom is completely on our side is to think foolishly he is a business man, a business man mind you who is trying to rebuild his empire while what he says about it helping the pirate community may be true hes definitely going to be putting his grubby hands in our wallets all the way there.

Why the fugg does anyone give a toss about this, anyway? Seriously, even if KD is a “business man,” so what? When did starting a business and making money become “evil?” If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Simple. And how is this revived cloud service any different than MS’s Skydrive? Why can MS do it but he can’t? Hypocrite much?

Seems to me like Omega is hugely hypocritical. They’ll hijack and sell a domain with supposed good intentions, and then try to play off as the good guys by donating 10% of the profits?

Not only is hijacking the domain not the right course of action, but even if it were: how funny is it that they would be willing to keep 90% of the profit and still claim they are unlike the companies they are trying to fight against?

Hmm … smells like hypocracy.

“Shall @UMG [Universal Music] buy the Me.ga domain name we will donate not 1% but 10% of the proceeds to FOJEGA the Forum des Jeunes du Gabon [Gabon Youth Forum],” they conclude.

How kind of them. Can one suspect that they know the person or even are the persons in control of said forums donation account? I would say that it was a mistake to mention that as in that case Im sure that forum would suffer from multiple attacks, if its not already, from all kinds of individuals that are irritated to hear these n00bs moaning about something they dont understand.

Accoring to them Kim Dotcom is just another dude wanting money… a really bad person wh wants to become rich at our expense (no mention of the hope his struggle has inspired in millions of peoples hearts) as a difference to themselves who simply want to sell a stolen domain for millions of dollars (or bitcoins lmao). Because steeling one guy that believes in the freedoms of internet’s domain and selling it to a multinational company for a large sum is not at all scumbaggy, no they are real shiny knights in armor aren’t they. Pfft. I don’t know if to laugh or cry.

Dotcom is a fool; and so are his accomplices. They will be chased to the ends of the earth by the USA establishment. They will not stop. His best bet would be to go find a quiet place to live on the hidden loot. Why do these people always go full Saddam!

This is not true piracy he has NOTHING to do with pirates he is just a business man. FFS go and support BT and Usenet (get a VPN or Seedbox) and fuck these centralised lockers.

Problem is it is casual pirates (the masses) who use lockers. Stop lockers you stop a great deal of piracy. Hence why Dotcom is going to go full retard like Saddam did, refuse to stop, and eventually get hung up by his balls.

  Think its the other wayaround. If you mess with peoples data on all of the cyberlockers it is the US officials who will be hanged by their balls. Also on a side note: FUCK Bushs WAR on Iraq/Terror/Human Rights for OIL/MilitaryIndustrialists/Profit/Wall Street/Banksters. And please. Cyberlockers were around like how long? The Industry had plenty of time to adapt to the market… nope not gonna happen. So will they be hanging too in the end? They deserve it the most for lying in our face and forcing upon us the most invasive laws ever to get passed in the last decade. FUCK THEM! … and fuck you btw!
