Kim Dotcom’s Mega to Launch at Mega Event at His New Zealand Mansion
Kim Dotcom is all set to launch his MegaUpload replacement, Mega, next month.
Dotcom tweeted last night that the press conference at his New Zealand mansion will be “like no other.” He wrote, “You know me. I can’t do small.” This will happen on January 20.
To give an idea of taste and extravagance of the man, Dotcom lives in a mansion and, alongside his Megaupload team, he owned a selection of material goods to rival anyone. The ‘seven-figure’ hoard of items that authorities confiscated from Megaupload execs following January’s clamp down was a veritable feast of luxury gadgets. It included 10 Mercedes Benz cards, a Harley Davidson bike, artwork and a bevvy of TVs, one of which was an 108-inch set.

And he knows how to grow a service, too.
Before its sudden shutdown, Megaupload was one of the top sites on the Internet, with some reports stating it consumed 4 percent of all Internet traffic. Megaupload was mega popular. Dotcom has promised the new service will build upon the previous version but he stated in a tweet it will be “powered by legality and protected by the law.”
In preparation for the January 20 launch, Dotcom is looking for volunteer translators to help make Mega available in as many languages as possible.
