Hey guys!
This is my video covering the removal of the website "Megaupload". There have been numerous rumours as to what the cause for t he removal of the site was, but this one seems to stick out like a sore thumb.
The removal of the site was an act of fear.
Fear of what, I hear you ask?
Megabox.
MegaBox was going to be an alternative music store that was entirely cloud-based and offered artists a better money-making opportunity than they would get with any record label.
Not only did they plan on allowing artists to keep 90% of their earnings on songs that they sold, they wanted to pay them for songs they let users download for free.
The info is all the in the video, but if you want links to the sites I quote, here you go:
