Default Re: Kim Dotcom Theory on Corporate Cyberlocker Use Supported By Survey

It doesn't take a lot of thinking to realize the truth of this; that unlike the claims of the US DOJ there were and are legal uses for the service that do not involved infringement, making the claim that all money was stolen from the entertainment industries and should not be given back, as false and hollow.

You can not send big files through email. Too many spammers and too many malware artists have ruined that method. You really don't have a lot of choice on how to transfer several gigs of data from work to home or back. File cyberlockers are pretty much it.

What gave the music industry 'The Willies' wasn't that it was trading files (which they really dislike but wasn't enough on its own to actually push the case). It was the threat that Megaupload could become their rival and was doing well at what they were doing.

Megaupload had already made a song, paid the well known artists to do it, and released it for free. Testimony by those artists they used the service to pass their data around where they needed it to be.

Worse and more importantly, Megaupload was offering deals to those artists that needed exposure. Put it up on Megaupload, offer it for free, get paid by the download amounts through advertising. The artists would get more money paid them than through regular contracts with big labels. A threat if ever there was one to big labels. And Megaupload was planning a whole new venture out of that. The artist could hold on to their copyright with no contract and make more money through greater exposure.

Then there was the threat of going public with an IPO. Once that was done, it was a recognized international company. Shutting it down would have really become much, much, harder.

From the actions, not the words, you can see the 'We gotta do something right now...today...about this, pressure on the government. Be hanged the laws and what they say, we want action.
