The site features an "Infringement" button at the top of the page. Can I report the entire contents of the first page as infringing, since every item I see is obviously infringing? Can I then repeat that for each subsequent page?

Clicking this just brings you here: https://mega.co.nz/#copyright

So it's not likely any content from mega-search.me will ever be removed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Presumably they never look at such indicies so they'd only be liable after someone notified them of infringement.

Willful blindness isn't a particularly strong defense. Aimster tried it and failed.

Youtube used that defense and got away with it, isn't this what the DMCA is for?

How does this work? The website shows a file as "downloading" but I don't see a file on my pc.

Mine downloads and goes to 100%, but just sits there, nothing happening. Weirdness.

It works only in Google Chrome. It downloads the file first and then asks you where do you want to save it.

Well, arguably, neither is terribly original http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ThereIsOnlyOneCloudIconInTheEn...

It's not just the cloud-- the gears too.

Pretty sure there's a Google property with the same cloud + gears loading animation. Blogger, or Tumblr or Blogspot or one of those.

Did you mean too low?

No, RIAA has to pay the $25 fee to send an infringement notification. Therefore, they want the fee to be lower.

What they really mean is they want to have automated systems do it for them without worrying.

Putting the owner's megalomania to the side for a minute, I really admire how the guys behind this are putting it all together.

First of all, (AFAIK) this is a high-volume/high-capacity site which was built in a record short time. Not only that, but they promised it would be coming Jan 2013, and they made it on time, such a rare outcome for an IT project.

One also has to appreciate how they made sure everyone has heard of them, without spending a penny on promotion (well, if you exclude the launch extravaganza).

Finally, they seem to be very transparent in how the encryption gets applied and can handle crypto-critics quite well. I think, little by little, they're earning the average user's trust.

I think its the blogspot theme with the gears in a box that your thinking of.

It isn't the same but Mega uses their animation in the same way.
