Dotcom's New Site "Megabox" Almost Ready

concealment writes "Dotcom confirmed to the Associated Press in a telephone interview that he has completed 90% the work on "new Mega" and "Megabox", a music site that he announced in June. Megabox will allow users to download music for free in exchange for accepting some advertisements, and 90% of the revenue will go to the artists."

Lawsuits

A technology that challenges the recording industry's firm grim on paying people to make music? A system that gives artists a big cut of the revenue made by monetizing their music? Something that might actually change revenue models? The lawsuits will not stop until this is dead and buried.

Most projects stay at 90% done for 90% of their duration.

Well if 90% of the revenue goes to the musicians then I doubt he'll be going through any of the major protection rackets and sticking to smaller/indie stuff. Otherwise there would be no way to guarantee that percent going to them.

oh so YOU were the guy who used Megaupload for legal uses. We were wondering who that was.

The rest of us used it to download Avengers and Call of Duty: MW3.

90% of 0.01 cents is far worse than 1% of 99 cents

Let me sell you this copy of Photoshop for $10.
It is OK because I give 90% to Adobe.

Let me sell you this perfectly forged $1 note for 90 cents. It is OK because I give the government 81 cents.
