fraudster of the worse kind

Probably that if you upload your photos to it make sure you keep backup copies because your data may end up in limbo as happened to the old site.

With 50GB online storage space on offer for free it looks a bit too good to be true. I opened an account this morning but uploads just sat waiting. Right now the site seems to be timing out.

It is a storage sites for torrents ..so no problem to me

BTW none of your links work ?
Or maybe Virgin have stopped me connecting ?

No - he isn't a fraudster - The US authorities are accusing him of assisting copyright infringement which isn't fraud.

dont know how he is allowed to set up the same type of site most likely doing the same thing, not be long and the FBI will take that down too.

I like this statement

Mr Dotcom has said the new site complies with the law and warned that attempts to take it down would be futile.

I don't doubt that the FBI would like to take down this site or get it blocked but they have to act within the law to do so - I think an attack by Navy Seals on the server farms hosting the site may not go down well with the governments of the countries where they are.

railbuff

the FBI etc. will be watching the site closly

his site is down at the moment

but it seems it is hosted Offshore ( i wonder why) this would not prevent FBI taking it down

Note: a file hosting service can in no way be conflated with a communications protocol.

This is what Magaload was all about, but was used to store and pass around ILLEGAL and copyrighted material, so was taken down by authorities
