Oh Kim Dotcom, will your exploits never cease? He’s in court battling extradition to the United States, and simultaneously developing a new product that’s probably going to piss off the copyright holders who are coming after him for Megaupload. Genius!
Now Dotcom has taken to Twitter to show off some screenshots of the forthcoming Mega-branded music service or whatever it is that he’s been teasing for ages. From what we know about the service, it’s circumvent the record labels and pay artists directly with both advertising revenue and track sales. Is it going to work? We have no idea, but it sounds pretty good.
The three shots show off the site’s registration page, encryption key generator, and file manager. What’s pretty funny is that even though the service will be legal, the file manager’s design looks a lot like a P2P or BitTorrent client. It’s a familiar interface that’s time proven, but come on man! If you wanna show people you’re not a crook at least dress up the aesthetics a little bit. [Twitter via TNW]
















Am I the only one who doesn’t see any proof of P2P?
I might be the second only
Add me as the third then.
I’ll be the fourth.
Oh well, me too. Sorry, me fifth
Yep pretty shit story.
Author’s though train: ?
“Oh it has collapsible directories in a browser and a couple of completely non p2p related categories, that’d make a good story about how it’s gonna be a pirate client.”
I think it’s the way it is laid out…
Author doesn’t know what he’s talking about. This is the new version of MegaUpload basically, NOT MegaBox which is what you are confusing it with.
For a P2P client it looks shockingly familiar to google drive or dropbox.
Mario Aguilar, you’re such a special lad. I bet you went to a special school.
You might as well argue that windows explorer looks like a p2p client.
Retard.
it just looks like an explorer window to me or maybe a typical FTP program window, nothing what so ever like a a p2p.
