In a statement to TechCrunch that was conspicuously devoid of live-tweeting, helicopter chases or any underwater components, Kim Dotcom announced that he has instructed the Mega staff to delete any public copies of the blueprints for this week's fully 3D-printable gun. Read More >>

The absolute mess surrounding the prosecution of Kim Dotcom just got a little messier, with courts ruling that the former Megaupload boss can sue local spy agencies for illegally monitoring his communications. Read More >>
It's been over a year since Megaupload was ripped from the fabric of the Internet, and its successor has already risen to fill the hole. But Megaupload was a truly gargantuan site. So much so that it's still getting millions of visitors per month, even though there's nothing there. Read More >>
Kim Dotcom is a character. Giving the finger to the government that took his site down by setting up a new one. Throwing a press conference complete with a fake FBI raid, pyrotechnics and dancers. Demolishing cheap lawn furniture. Now, thanks to helicopter problems, he's stranded in the middle of nowhere. Ever the showman, he's making something of an event of it. Read More >>
Mega is here, and you've been hearing a lot about its encryption, as well as it not really working too great just yet. But maybe the most important thing is Mega's promise of being less of a lawsuit magnet. A lot of steps have been taken there, but there's one that stands out as the biggest: Mega doesn't use de-duplication. Read More >>

The launch event for Kim Dotcom's Mega broadcasted to the word live from his mansion in New Zealand was a huge spectacle of lofty ideas. Mega isn't just super-private file storage in the cloud. It's a political statement: Privacy is a basic human right. Read More >>

Kim Dotcom's newly launched Mega is determined not to get screwed over by the rozzers the way MegaUpload did, and the trick is encryption, lots of encryption. Mega's really going that extra mile too: it's using your random mouse and keyboard data to strengthen your crypto keys. Read More >>

Kim Dotcom seems firmly determined to give the megafinger to the Feds and continue with his meganew file sharing megaproject after megaupload was megashutteddowned. He claims hisnew Mega will give 50GB of storage space to every user. For free. If true, it will obliterate Dropbox and Skydrive. Read More >>
Yes, that's right. Someone actually bothered to do a study, crunch the numbers, and come to the same conclusion as everyone else -- blocking pirate sites does nothing to stop piracy. Fact. Read More >>

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! Read More >>

A bizarre link between piracy and cinema-going has been uncovered, only it's not what you'd expect. The closure of piracy portal Megaupload coincided with a slight fall in cinema attendance, as the critical word-of-mouth internet recommendation engine faltered. Read More >>
Kim Dotcom's dream of hosting the follow-up to Megaupload at Me.ga fell through last week when Gabon's government objected. No worry: instead it will appear at the rather less-snappy Mega.co.nz. Read More >>
Not only did Kim Dotcom's Megaupload reboot get its domain name seized, it seems 'real pirates' have taken offence to Dotcom, and have hacked his domain to redirect to a group calling themselves 'Omega'. What's more, they want to sell it to Dotcom's adversaries -- looks like ol'Kimmy's got a war on his hands. Read More >>
Kim Dotcom has been hyping up Megaupload's new website Mega for so long that it seemed like a given that the file sharing site would come back bigger and badder. But it doesn't look likely because Me.ga has already been shut down by Gabon, a small country in Africa that controls the .ga domain. Read More >>
