I might have missed something (if so please tell me), but the only mention of Kim Dotcom is "Check the first album ever released on Baboom, Good Times by Kim Dotcom", and it's saying what it's saying... and not that Kim Dotcom is actually behind the service.

Fuck Kim Dotcom. He's a scumbag piece of shit who deserves to rot in prison. He plots and schemes way to put hundreds of millions of dollars into his pocket off of the works of others. Anyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.

And the way the recording industry works is any different?

I assume he made a deal with the artists and we are not downloading illegally? Nice design, btw the animation is maxing out my gpu.

There's nothing on the site to download other than his own album in the preview. His video implies he wants artists to upload their music for free, and fans only pay if they enjoy the work. The download tab for an album in the preview has links to iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp.

    We are associated with the same group behind MEGA 
    (Megaupload successor as Wikipedia states), and 
    responsible for the upcoming music service BABOOM.
