Kim Dotcom Open letter to Hollywood:  I won.  90% of Mega’s traffic is piracy, legal piracy. There is nothing you can do about it. 360 million users. Twice the size of Megaupload. I founded it. I gave it encryption on the fly and I made it in a way that New Zealand would protect it.  After nearly 15 years my journey in NZ is coming to an end. Next stop Virginia. But you don’t want me there because I will drag you into Court, expose your bribery and make you look stupid.  You can have it the easy way and I show you how to make billions with piracy traffic. I can even show you how to survive AI. You have no clue. Or have it the hard way and I will humiliate you. I can do that.  Your Jewish clown in New Zealand cannot deliver any income for you. What is he good for? Deliver me? Your biggest problem? You should have made me your friend like I offered when I founded Mega.  Here is your last chance to make a deal with me. I have the capacity to forgive and make the next 15 years lucrative for us or I can continue to fight and make the next 15 years painful for you. I have already won. You can be smart or you can be stubborn. Your choice.  Let's have a happy ending?  Yours, Kim

Saw this earlier, what do you guys think of this?

This guy was arrested inside his own safe with a gun. He is a lunatic. He is also obviously trying to cash out somehow, even though since 2015 he himself claims to have no ties with Mega anymore and that it has been compromised.

Either way, Mega hasn't been good for piracy for ages, nor is it trust worthy for private data sharing.

In the linked post he writes

Full Disclosure: I'm no longer involved with Mega but it operates lawfully like Megaupload did. The fact that Mega is still online after I founded it 13 years ago shows that the case against Megaupload was political, a total Hollywood overreach and the New Zealand Govt should be ashamed for still wanting to extradite me.

"Your Jewish clown", what the fuck?

Yeah he's really unhinged.

This dude's always been a weird piece of shit so somehow this isn't even that surprising

He's speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who's actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.

Antisemites don't actually care about his religion. It's racism. Jewish heritage means Jew, which to them means evil. No Jewish heritage but in their way means secret Jew, which to them means secretly evil.

Please don't promote that guy.

When a person's words makes then look like an ass, I'm not sure that giving them more exposure is "promoting" them.

Any publicity is good publicity.

You may think it makes him look like an ass, but to an ass he looks like their kind of guy.

Case in point: Donald Ass Trump

I really hate to accept that exposing assy words and behavior just makes it worst, but it's hard to argue with that example.

The way the internet enables awful outliers to find each other and organize really makes one question whether it was ever a good idea.

He's crazy, and therefore doing more harm than good in advocating for piracy.

What is this post even? If he's looking for an out he's doing a shit job.

Safe to say he's definitely insane.

Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.

Have you not heard of John McAfee's story?

A family friend of ours knew the guy. He was even more batshit insane than the stories make him seem.

I briefly met him at Defcon years ago and got an immediate off putting vibe to say the least. Then I saw him get up and tell his unhinged life story which then lead to a pitch for some crypto bullshit. I wish I had saved the 60 or so seconds I spent talking to him.

Something about eating his own dick?

I see him more like the Larry Flynt of file sharing. He's a piece of shit, but he's also fighting for the right side.

This is so cringe, lol

Kim has always been like the biggest late 90s Edgelord.

Oh the right side though. For now. By accident, i assume.

But on the right side.

Careful, mentioning 90s and edge at the same time might revive Edge Games, who bullied everyone like they owned the word Edge

Yeah, he literally changed his last name to "dotcom."

This man legally changed his surname to “Dotcom” I expect nothing less

I fucking hate how many psycho types got into computing

Bragging about how much of your service's traffic is used for Piracy doesn't sound like a smart tactic.

Also,

and I show you how to make billions with piracy

The fuck? Wanna bet it's some hare-brained NFT scheme?

It’s probably something like “deliver a good product or service at a good price and everyone will buy it instead of pirate it”

Hollywood like any other industry is just overwhelmingly greedy. Instead of getting a buck or two from everyone they want to get a hundred bucks from a portion of them…. While screwing basically everyone working on the project and funneling the proceeds into the hands of an extreme minority.

The rent seeking from subscriptions that has all but swallowed whole all media is disgusting. Physical media will be gone soon and we will be left with shitty bitrate renting.

It's not even good for piracy because of the shitty bandwidth limits for users that pop up halfway through downloading something and make you wait until tomorrow or pay.

Dotcom is now effectively Musk's hanger-on of a somewhat insane type. He posts a lot of megalomaniac and incoherent right-wing stuff (and I mean incoherent even by right-wing standards), as seen here. He hasn't had anything to do with MEGA for many years, he's been in a sort of exile in New Zealand, and frankly he seems as if he's isolated and mentally deteriorating.

Down in the deep south near Glenorchy. Isolated even for a New Zealander. Find Queenstown on a map and then follow the shore of the lake Queenstown is on to the west, tada Glenorchy. He lives there

I guess to operate a open internet, we have to allow even the nutcases internet.

This has a Freddy vs Jason kinda vibe. Asshole fighting assholes, sorta thing. Love it.

posted on the nazi site, too 🫣

"your Jewish clown" kinds says it all

Kim Schmitz has always been a grifter and an asshole. I wish him all the worst.

Since it's a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I'm under the impression that this 'criticism' are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they're a bullshitter.

I've done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I'm not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I've found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

So it's likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it's a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they're bored.

Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

I stand corrected as someone actually pointed to the source.

Welp, there you go. But, I never touch that shitty X platform and I don't dare register an account there ever again to really care looking. Too much drama and cringe on that platform that has a sad stranglehold on many people's lives.

He comes across like a reddit power mod.

calls someone a Jewish clown

Reddit would ban him for that.

Back when I was in Jordan, I visited a music store. They had a big screen on the wall with Windows Explorer open with a huge catalog of .mp3s. You could choose anything and they would burn the CD for you. Everything was clean and tidy as you would expect for a shop in a central location. Made me aware of how much legislators work to protect the rights of those few companies that own the rights.

Crazy people love to sprinkle in anti semitism in their rants.

I was wondering what that part was all about…

What's his next stop in Va about? Is he extraditing himself?

that's the best way to put a huge "RAID ME!" sticker infront of your server room

He's already been raided.

i don't know anything about this guy other than some big headlines a while ago about how some chode legally changed his name to "dotcom," which is...unbelievably fucking stupid. i get the feeling he was trying to be intimidating in this tweet on fucking twitter, but he's not. i don't really see this douchenozzle "humiliating" anyone. except maybe himself

Giving off real "you can't fire me, I quit" vibes lol

If this is on Twitter, then it makes sense. That platform is a cesspool

is this guy still related to mega.co.nz?

I remember him posting some crazy rants on twitter after the company managed to get rid of him. So I guess not.

I still hate Mega as a cloud service

Why? Mega is so good IMO. No speed limit, no rate limit, no time limit.
Rapidshare for example limits the speed I believe to only 200 kbit/s and only allows 2 or 3 file downloads per day.
Uploaded is even worse with 50 kbit/s.
Fuckingfast is better regarding speed, but I believe they have a time limit, meaning after X days it gets automatically deleted.

But there are still people who upload their stuff on that platform only.
And that stuff is so niche, you can’t find it anywhere else or it simply is the highest quality.

It would be a dream if people would upload to mega.

Only masochists still use Snailshare.

Sometimes there is no other alternative. There are people who upload only to uploaded or rapidshare. Annoying af.

And Imgur, I see a nothingburger

gonna cut himself on that edge

We have a link to the actual post? This is pretty extreme.
