it circumvents current copyright laws by MEGA being able to stay completely blind to what is being uploaded.

Quite keen to see how the music distribution thing goes, for immerging talent and artists that don't fit the record companies agenda this could work and shake things up.

Genre based random music feeds for an affordable subscription with no ads could be a revenue stream, I know there's already a tonne of online radios but just saying.

This is probably the most important part of the whole thing, that which separates it from other services.

I think it's genius.

So?
There was already rapidshare and a huge slew of other identical sites when the US Govt decided to make Mega a big deal too.

It will have cdn nodes off shore, but will still have NZ host elements. Either way it's software slows it the hell down, and it's clunky and not friendly.
