As the saga between Megaupload and the United States government continues, lawsuits are destined to come down strong from creators and copyright holders associated with the filesharing sites found distribution selection. The amount of cash that the group ValCom, Inc. is seeking is just part of the massive half-billion in copyright losses and $175 million in proceeds total the US government has already calculated. ValCom $42 million in suspected criminal proceeds have been seized in Megaupload.com and related entities raids thus far.

"Together with our friends at Microhits, Inc., we have implemented an aggressive initiative to acquire back-due royalties and compensation to assure that we receive all revenues that are due to the Company. Our suit regarding Megaupload.com is one of many situations we have identified where ValCom is due compensation." - Vallardita

The founder of MegaUpload, Kim Dotcom, has given his first interview by "3 News" since he was arrested over alleged copyright infringement and shutdown his company MegaUpload back in 2011. Dotcom is facing a litany of charges by the FBI in the US that include copyright infringement, money laundering, and racketeering. Kim still maintains that he is no piracy king, and that he will win in court.

Kim describes the whole situation as a nightmare that has been horrifying for his family. He also maintains that the entire legal drama and arrest was totally unexpected. He claims that in the seven years Megaupload has been in business it has only been sued once and that he and his legal team believed the website was protected by the DMCA law that protects likes of Google and YouTube. We Have the Full Video for the Interview Below!

"Scale of the Universe 2" was created by Cary Huang, a 14-year-old ninth grader from Moraga, Calif, with technical help from his twin brother Michael.

Believe it or not, it was and is possible to track the traffic that MegaUpload and the rest of the piracy-laden file-sharing groups out there have compared to the rest of the web. In One hour following the January 19th raid of MegaUpload the Global entirety of the Internet lost between 2-3 precent of its total volume in traffic.
This first statistic comes from a report from DeepField Networks called File Sharing in the Post MegaUpload Era. This same study had MegaUpload downloads representing no less than 30-40% of all file sharing on the internet. As MegaUpload own MegaVideo and the other biggest sharer of files after that, Filesonic, both shuttered their doors effectively on January 18th, their percentages (34.1% for Mega and 19.1% for Filesonic) were distributed amongst the rest of the next biggest hosts. According again to DeepField, "MegaUpload sprawled over more than 1000 servers and 25 petabytes of data in Carpathia facilities." That is an intense amount of copies of Skyrim, that iss for sure.

On the 19th of January it was Putlocker up top with nearly 30% of all the file sharing on the web with several services next in line like MediaFire and NovaMov. Both the graphics you see above and below come from DeepField.


For the first time, Germany Federal Office for Information Security has declared Chrome to be the web browser of choice for Windows users who are looking for security.
German officials made it clear that a web browser is the most critical component of using online services securely. Sandboxing is pointed out as the key feature in Chrome security and that was found either weak or completely missing in other browsers.

Eager to get the latest and greatest browser of the Mozilla Foundation? Well you have got your chance now as the company has made Firefox 10 available for download.
Firefox 10 brings the kind of life-changing features you would expect from a six-week update cycle, with some extension management improvements, a forward button that hides itself until it has a function, the inclusion of APIs for full-screen web apps, and anti-aliasing for WebGL. Firefox 10 also marks the debut of the "Extended Support Release," intended for enterprises that do not want to deal with the hassle of supporting a new browser every six weeks.


With MegaUpload facing irretrievable data loss later this week and rival services locking down their file sharing options, attention has turned to well-used but clandestine rival RapidShare AG and whether it will be next in line for the FBI attentions. Worlds apart from the showy Kim Dotcom, MegaUpload CEO, RapidShare founder Christian Schmid has focused his attentions on lobbying the US government, the WSJ reports, spending over $600,000 since 2010 to persuade them the site is a legitimate file repository and not a haven for copyright infringement.
"[Schmid] is shy and does not really like other people" RapidShare lawyer Daniel Raimer told the newspaper, after the founder declined to speak publicly on the MegaUpload saga. "He is not into chatting."
Nonetheless, plenty of copyright holders seem keen to talk to Schmid and his company. We have lawsuits coming in and being ended all the time" Raimer conceded, "this is an ongoing battle." Despite those suits dismissed, RapidShare ended up on the 2010 International Piracy Watch List, prompting the file sharing site to employ a lobbying firm to champion its cause among US lawmakers. In contrast, MegaUpload apparently spent its money on luxury cars and weapons.
