He's going legit ... well, he's claimed to have been for many years. Anyway, the new MEGA site will be just like any other file sharing site like Dropbox or Google drive. Now, it's down to how people will use these "Cloud" services.

"Megaupload boss Kim Dotcom has set up a new cloud storage and file-sharing site. Mega, a web-based service that lets people upload and store files of any kind, is a sequel to the Megaupload system that was shut down last January.

Police raids on the offices and home of Kim Dotcom led to the closure of Megaupload. The Mega site went online at dawn on Sunday, with Mr Dotcom due to hold a gala at his New Zealand mansion later. Mr Dotcom has said the new site complies with the law and warned that attempts to take it down would be futile.

"This is not some kind of finger to the US government or to Hollywood," he told Reuters on Saturday. "Legally, there's just nothing there that could be used to shut us down. This site is just as legitimate and has the right to exist as Dropbox, Boxnet and other competitors."
