Don't know much about his negative traits? He was convicted (on separate occasions years apart) of computer fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, and data espionage (carding/etc). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom#Criminal_investigati... I particularly don't like Kim because I find him a walking insult to honest entrepreneurs. Getting rich off of other peoples' work (Megaupload) is shameful, and while ever…
In your mind how do you distinguish Megaupload and Youtube?
Google is like US government. There are only two rules that apply to them.
1) They don't have to do the right things, but instead what they do is termed as right.
2)If you argue against it, you are against innovation and those thousands of engineers are great because they have memorized a thousand algorithms from the book. And tend mix up only with the same kind.

Because youtubes primary purpose for existing doesn't depend on copyright infringement. MU was raided because of their alleged blatant infringement and non DMCA good faith compliance.
>>Because youtubes primary purpose for existing doesn't depend on copyright infringement.
If the copyright content is taken off YouTube, their business will fall like a pack of cards.
I go there for free entertainment. And guess how most of it and what kind is served there.

He's a career criminal. He hacked for profit. He traded in stolen phone cards and turned in his compatriots for reduced sentence. He ran a "premium" phone number scam. He ran a pump and dump scheme to defraud investors. He evaded prosecution by jumping jurisdiction. He tried (and failed) to run a fake hedge fund. He sold pirated software. He committed insider trading. He's not a self-made man. He's a career criminal…

Everyone understand this.
Let me tell you the problem why most people hate, troll and whine about rich people. Its not because others are rich, its because they aren't.

So, you're saying that you don't distinguish between MegaUpload and YouTube. I commend your consistency.
Re: Kim Dotcom's new Mega project
#106So why would any sane person try his luck with this sketchy company versus Dropbox, which provides same functionality for free already?
Dropbox has already demonstrated that they play it fast and loose with user privacy issues. While I use Dropbox for many things, and admire what they've built, we'd do well to be more realistic about it around here.
I appreciate your skepticism towards DropBox, but what makes you think that Mega is going to be the host-proof sharing nirvana?
I'm willing to bet that their initial client will be susceptible to MITB and various key leakages for the first year or two.

#107Jesus people. It is possible to acknowledge that Kim is a criminal, think he is interesting, be interested in Mega, find his criminal history abhorrent AND think that raid of Megaupload was wrong and probably illegal, all at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive and there's no reason for this to be an argument.
Why do Kim discussions always turn into arguments instead of discussions?

Nothing makes me think "Mega is going to be the host-proof sharing nirvana," because I don't.
Please, try to respond what people actually say.

The logos were so similar that when I opened them in tabs, I began to question whether the original post was a joke. I'm still not really sure what's going on.
Here's an image of both logos next to each other. http://tinyurl.com/c32hw83 Kim got rid of the 3D, made the colors more bold, and removed some of the outlines. The changes also had the effect of making the word "AdBrite" appear larger, even though (in this comparison) the images are the same size. Subtle, but was meaningful to me. Because (a) I liked his version better, and (b) In all my years entrepreneuring, it's…
I don't like either of them, but if I had to choose one I'd pick the 3D one, it looks smoother and the red in non-3D version is really emotionally negative, like it's the kind of red that makes you angry or scared.
