Hmm, this is an interesting counterexample.
What was the difference? Did not have the correct investors? Did not have a unique enough product?
I would assume the latter. However, this is an interesting topic for discussion.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoHe knew that and talked about and used alledgedly illegal files. He should just not do the drugs himself and fire everyone who eats from the forbidden fruit and he would be fine.
- Kwpolska 2y agoSpotify did illegal stuff in beta, but they fixed it since then. Megaupload never cared about the law.

- bofadeez 2y agoDevil is in the details. Teenagers tend to appreciate things that can seemingly collapse a complex topic into a binary black and white thing. The real world is nuanced.
- mrweasel 2y agoWhile I have no proof, I feel like the fact that Megaupload wasn't in the US prevented them for using the correct legal loopholes that could have kept them aloft for long enough to grow to a size where they could settle these types issues out of court.
- Yeul 2y agoI don't know seemed to me everyone was using Mega for piracy... The file lockers that pirates use today operate under the radar. The owners don't do interviews and they use crypto.
- concerndc1tizen 2y agoWhat's file lockers? Do you have examples?
- msh 2y agoDropbox actually took action on shared files if piracy was reported. Megaupload made systems that faked they took action.
