Kim Dotcom Launches Mega

A year ago, the US Government shut down Mega Upload for illegal file sharing. Kim Dotcom, founder of Mega Upload is launching a new site, Mega, and he says this time, it’s all legal.

Users can upload 50 gigabytes of files, store them and share them to other users. The difference is this time, the company will not know what are in the files because they are encrypted. The encrypted keys are in the hands of users only. Of course this means, once the user loses the password, they lose it forever since the company will not have access to it.

Experts are advising against using Mega, citing that the site is not secured and are prone to virus attacks. This did not discouraged users from signing up – after one day of launch and glitzy PR, Mega already surpassed one million users, causing the site to struggle against the massive demand.
