ruekk Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ok so I've been hearing some rumors recently about Kim Dotcom bringing Megaupload back. Does anyone know whether these rumors are legit or not? I hope they are, I really liked Megaupload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Lol... I highly doubt the us govt will allow such a thing to happen. Although I did read somewhere that he was bringing "Megabox" back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruekk Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well I found this while looking at his twitter, he posted it July 4th:SOPA is dead. PIPA is dead. ACTA is dead. MEGA will return. Bigger. Better. Faster. Free of charge & shielded from attacks. Evolution!EDIT: And this:“@TwigEnvy: @KimDotcom Awesome! Does this also mean that we will be getting our data back that was STOLEN from us?!” Working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senorsoul Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I highly doubt it will come back & if it does I bet the government will be monitoring it heavly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corocoro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Only if he wins the court case - he doesn't have capital for such a venture at the moment.By the way, the extradition hearing has been moved back to March 2013 - We'll be at this for a while longer.

bezelbubba Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 The legal case is a mess over the legality of the actions of the players involved. If you follow the drama on torrentfreak, you can seethat this will be a mess that will take a long time to untangle. But here is hoping for binding legal precedent in favor for the flow of information . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I highly doubt it will come back & if it does I bet the government will be monitoring it heavlyDude, same.I think they're going find every way possible to keep him down and keep MU from coming back the way it was. And if they can't do it with the current ruleset (which I doubt, people bend and interpret laws like poetry), they're going to figure out a way to get in new rules to help them win. I'm not going to hold my breath that they're coming back. It's unfortunate all those people lost their work and I do feel for them, but as they say, you shouldn't have just one backup of your stuff, especially if your backup is in a location you don't control.

corocoro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Well, I had backups on four different hosts and in five accounts (one was completely hidden from public) and that didn't help me much either - all went poof. Luckily I've gotten most of it back by now - only around 150 items to go! Edited July 10, 2012 by corocoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 That is some unfortunate luck, but you probably shouldn't use a cloud for all your backups, haha. Of course, there really wasn't much help for people with downloads that brought MU and other file locker sites down in the first place, but I'm talking about people fussing about losing "legitimate work".

corocoro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 My legitimate work never made it to any cloud hoster - I have it on a RAID array, an external disk, and regularly burn it on DVD-RW. Call me paranoid, but better be safe than sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jªvª Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honestly, it could come back only with very tight restrictions. And probably don't expect alot of the illegal material to be up on it. Just due to the fact that FBI had enough time to snoop through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny402 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It would be nice, but I highly doubt it. And like someone said above me, it would probably be much more strict. It would be awesome to get our content back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanodus Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I believe the odds of Megaupload returning are severely slim. Why? The government took it down and all that, and although their acts may be dead like SOPA and PIPA, they still have control on whether or not the sites that were taken down will return again, in this case Megaupload.if Megaupload returns, they'll probably have some weird thing to come back eith it, like required registration, licenses and such.It would be great to have MU back, but I'm not getting my hopes up when I will most likely end up being disappointed.

KalicWinter Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It would be nice especially considering most of the other forums still have megaupload links up but I really don't think megaupload is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I hate to say this, but I seriously doubt that they will ever bring back Megaupload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digatu Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I heard a rumour. Free popcorn for all Kametsu users. Its so easy to start a rumour thats based on nothing but wishful thinking lol.If by some sort of miracle it does come back. I'll avoid it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Okay...so apparently the rumors may be true(but not positive).
