"According to Digital Music News, Megaupload's new venture, MegaBox, is a "cloud-based music locker, download store, and do-it-yourself artist service." So far, partners of MegaBox include 7digital, Gracenote, Rovi and Amazon, the world's largest online retailer. Megaupload founder Kim Schmitz said Universal "knows that we are going to compete with them via our own music venture called Megabox.com, a site that will soon allow artists to sell their creations directly to consumers while allowing artists to keep 90 percent of earnings."

90% for the artists - That would have had an impact on the greedy Universal Music and other Record Labels. So they used their dirty connections and had it shut down.

Ongoing lawsuit from December 2011, the takedown of MegaUpload was a tit for tat negotiating move made with the business end of LEO firearms. THE RIAA rented out the whores in the WH and DoJ to commit international RICO conspiracy crimes under the color of law.

We’re far down the rabbit hole, or as Mark Levin says, a “post Constitutional America” and it’s becoming apparent to even the dimmest bulbs.

MegaBox.com owner had an OpEd in December discussing this:

That... makes for an interesting watch. So, the major supporters of SOPA were the ones who pushed for the distribution of piracy software in the first place in order to create an artificial crisis to take advantage of? That’s actually rather clever, probably the best piece of long term business planning to come out of the entertainment industry in years.

Never let a crisis go to waste. And if necessary, create the crisis yourself.
