Default Top Artists Line Up for Kim...

Top Artists Line Up for Kim Dotcom’s Megabox
by Ernesto

Kim Dotcom is currently involved in a high-profile criminal prosecution in the U.S., but that isn’t stopping him from preparing the launch of a revolutionary new music service. With Megabox, Dotcom aims to make piracy an issue of the past by introducing free music for all. Dotcom told TorrentFreak that some of the world’s top artists have already signed up for the launch, and more are expected to follow.

Megabox first appeared in the news late last year, following the release of the “Mega Song” promo.

The song featured top artists including P Diddy, Will.i.am, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West, endorsing the now-defunct Megaupload. At the time, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom explained that he had plans to put the “dinosaur record labels” out of business with the release of Megabox.

A month later, however, the Megabox domain was seized as part of the criminal case against Dotcom and other members of the so-called “Mega Conspiracy”. While many thought this was the end of the ambitious plans, Megaupload’s founder recently announced that Megabox is not dead yet.

In fact, the events of the past half year make Dotcom more motivated than ever before.

“I am totally excited about changing the music industry forever and giving the power to the artists,” Dotcom told TorrentFreak today. And he has reason to be excited.

Despite the legal woes, Megabox can still count on the support of many of the world’s top musicians. According to Dotcom, several of them have agreed to try the “free music” model.

“Some of the world’s top artists have lined up to launch with us and I want to make sure that they have the launch that they deserve. And of course the same is true for all the hidden talent out there, the artists who want to use Megabox as a launch pad,” Dotcom says.

The basic idea behind Megabox is simple. Give the public access to free music, and cut out the big labels so artists get properly compensated from the revenue being generated.

This revenue comes from the Megakey application that users have to install. Megakey works like an ad blocker, but instead of blocking ads it replaces a small percentage with Mega’s own ads. Those who prefer not to install the app have the option to buy the music instead.

“Music will be free for users who install the Megakey App. Anyone who does not like the App can just purchase the music,” Dotcom explains.

If successful, Megabox will be bad news for the major record labels, who currently enjoy a large cut of music sales. Depending on the revenue that’s generated, for artists Megabox may be an improvement as they get to keep nearly all of the money that comes in.

“These new solutions will allow content creators to keep 90% of all earnings and generate significant income from the untapped market of free downloads,” Dotcom says.

“I created an innovation that could solve the piracy problem,” he adds

That last part is important. Megaupload’s founder believes that this “free music” business model has the potential to decrease music piracy. It won’t be the solution preferred by the major labels, but artists should be encouraged by the offering.

In the weeks to come Kim Dotcom and his colleagues are hoping to get Megabox ready for a public release once there’s more certainty concerning the ongoing extradition attempt. Definitely something to keep an eye on.


So I posted about the Megabox yesterday and how I think that the RIAA is up to eyeballs in the efforts to shut down Megaupload, even though the MPAA takes the credit. Looks like I'm not the only one with that idea as it comes the next day in this update to the Megabox story. They insinuate and leave it for the reader to draw the obvious conclusion.

The copywrong folks have made a serious enemy and one that will work to return the favor he was dealt by their backroom hands. I suspect this will shake some up in the industry to realize they really screwed up and the only chance at this point of containing the threat will be to double down on extradition process.

Only it's becoming more of a farce as time goes on and more is exposed to the public through court and lawyer motions. The whole thing stinks.

Make no mistake here. Kim Dotcom is not an angel. He's an opportunist who is fixing to take advantage of one that has been laid in his lap. Managed properly, he will look like the hero, battling Goliath, winning, while everyone loves the underdog.

Still he has much on his side, for all the grandstanding he's doing. His lawyers are poking holes in the whole business and making both the US and New Zealand officials look like monkeys.

There's a lot of fight yet to go on with this. The copywrong people are not just going to roll over and expose the other cheek. But Kim is pissed and he looks like he's going for the throat not the cheek.
