O criador do Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, disse que lançará até o final do ano sua nova empreitada na internet, o serviço de download de músicas Megabox.
Chamado de revolucionário pelo próprio idealizador, o site quer vender álbuns e faixas diretamente dos artistas para o público, "desacorrentando os consumidores da indústria musical", descreveu Dotcom, conforme o site The Next Web.
Segundo Dotcom, os artistas receberão 90% do preço dos arquivos vendidos e serão remunerados mesmo nos casos em que os internautas baixarem as músicas gratuitamente. "Nosso modelo de negócios já foi testado com milhões de usuários e funciona", declarou Dotcom, sem dar detalhes sobre a estratégia comercial do serviço.
Dotcom foi detido em janeiro em Auckland, na Nova Zelândia, como parte de uma operação internacional contra a pirataria realizada pelos Estados Unidos e que forçou o encerramento das atividades do Megaupload.
Atualmente, ele aguarda sua extradição para os Estados Unidos, que acusaram os responsáveis pelo site de danos contra a propriedade intelectual no valor de pelo menos US$ 500 milhões.
Além de ser encarado como justiceiro da internet, Dotcom deve virar personagem de um documentário e está lançando seu primeiro álbum de música.
