It seems like Dotcom these days just uses his position and his notoriety to push products that would otherwise not get much attention. He really tries to leverage his image as an "internet savior" who fights against the evil US government. I haven't been quite so impressed. I think he is just a regular business man more than anything.
- ebbv 10y ago> I think he is just a regular business man more than anything. This is exactly what he is. He's just a business man with a PR firm that makes sure his press releases get posted on reddit and HN. If you spend even 5 minutes researching his history you will quickly learn he is not an innovator, he's not a crusader for freedom and he's not a hero. He's just another greedy person chasing the dollar via the easiest routes he can find.

- k__ 10y agolol, many business people probably wish they were evil geniuses like him. ;)

- plgs 10y agoAlthough I agree with your comment, this particular article makes no mention of "fighting for an internet freedom". It's just a very regular - and not so sexy, IMO, product announcement... which proves your point of him being a regular business man.
- OlliBolli 10y ago"business man" Its not like he is a traveling curtain sales man. This guy is a fraud and a sociopath. Do not do business with this man.
- Cryptosale75 10y agoHasn't that always been the case. I was always under the impression that he was basically an affiliate scammer that made enough money to pay a team of coders to fulfill his 'business ideas'. All of them bordering on PPC/Affiliate marketing scams and MLM schemes. Seems his only genuine interest is sports cars, hookers and blow.
