The Reason Megaupload was taken down

————————————————————-

>”In December of 2011, just weeks before the takedown, Digital Music News reported on something new that the creators of #Megaupload were about to unroll. Something that would rock the music industry to its core.”

>”MegaBox. MegaBox was going to be an alternative music store that was entirely cloud-based and offered artists a better money-making opportunity than they would get with any record label.”

>”We have a solution called the Megakey that will allow artists to earn income from users who download music for free,” Dotcom outlined. “Yes that’s right, we will pay artists even for free downloads. The Megakey business model has been tested with over a million users and it works.”

SHITS AND THEN DIES

Not. Surprised. At. Fucking. All.

holy fuck

jesus christ

If this is true…

Then this is what’s going on, the big 6 media holders basically don’t want their monopoly taken down, don’t want competition on the market, don’t want their media legally out there under anyone else but themselves, first it’ll be music, then they’ve got the technology it’ll be movies, tv shows and books, smaller companies can pop up on the internet overnight licensing anything and free views of anything can ping a few bucks for the creators while sales will also be available to them opening the world wide market without borders to every artist out there. Not the CEO’s or the corporate talking heads making cash but the artists themselves raking in more for their own work without worry of losing money to pirates because free downloads earn them money too…

This is what all of this is about, SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and the take downs. They’ve got their monopoly and they’re holding on to it till their fingers break.

holy crap…

Now, if this actually works, this is a step in the right direction.
