"Watch me in 2020."

Seven years since U.S. authorities shut down the file-sharing platform, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is hoping to use a database of former users' emails to influence the 2020 presidential election.

In a series of tweets this morning (Aug. 12), Dotcom suggested that he plans to encourage former users of the long-defunct site to oppose the presidential ambitions of former U.S. vice president Joe Biden, whom Dotcom has long blamed for instigating the site's downfall.

"Still waiting to get access to your Megaupload files? I will email 30 million former US Megaupload users a video link in 2020 explaining how @JoeBiden destroyed your favorite website," Dotcom tweeted. "Most of you were teenagers or students then but now you’re voters. Let’s retire Biden together."

Why is it okay to share pirate media like songs, movies and books,

but it is not okay to share your personal bank account numbers, passwords, investment accounts and credit card numbers??

It is all just data, electricity, and it should be free to share for everyone.

Intellectual copyright is a very difficult thing, and there is no one right answer. Various societies can legitimately choose to adopt a variety of conventions.

That said, in my opinion, our society gives too much $$$ and too much weight to entertainers, which undermines the legitimacy of various laws regarding copyright because they go contrary to common sense.

“Before the boating accident.”

Let me guess: any downloads that might have occurred accidentally sank?

I don’t care if she’s cute, it still doesn’t give her the right to hack people’s websites.

You are right.

Here’s my numbers to share:

And, for Rock and Roll enthusiasts, ‘11’

Kim Dotcom once said he would make a alternative if their bias continues! He should start it!

Agree, sometimes the surgery and drugs work so well that you can’t tell the difference.

Yea, that must be the ‘before’ picture.

Sorry, but I have only one image in my mind when I hear the name “Kim”, so I have some fun with the guy.
