      Why? Mega is so good IMO. No speed limit, no rate limit, no time limit. Rapidshare for example limits the speed I believe to only 200 kbit/s and only allows 2 or 3 file downloads per day. Uploaded is even worse with 50 kbit/s. Fuckingfast is better regarding speed, but I believe they have a time limit, meaning after X days it gets automatically deleted.

      But there are still people who upload their stuff on that platform only. And that stuff is so niche, you can’t find it anywhere else or it simply is the highest quality.

      It would be a dream if people would upload to mega.

    This guy was arrested inside his own safe with a gun. He is a lunatic. He is also obviously trying to cash out somehow, even though since 2015 he himself claims to have no ties with Mega anymore and that it has been compromised.

    Either way, Mega hasn’t been good for piracy for ages, nor is it trust worthy for private data sharing.

    Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.

      I see him more like the Larry Flynt of file sharing. He’s a piece of shit, but he’s also fighting for the right side.

    Since it’s a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I’m under the impression that this ‘criticism’ are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they’re a bullshitter.

    I’ve done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I’m not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I’ve found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

    So it’s likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it’s a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they’re bored.

    Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

    I stand corrected as someone actually pointed to the source.

    Bragging about how much of your service’s traffic is used for Piracy doesn’t sound like a smart tactic.

    Also,

    and I show you how to make billions with piracy

    The fuck? Wanna bet it’s some hare-brained NFT scheme?
