    "According to Digital Music News, Megaupload's new venture, MegaBox,
    is a "cloud-based music locker, download store, and do-it-yourself
    artist service." So far, partners of MegaBox include 7digital,
    Gracenote, Rovi and Amazon, the world's largest online retailer.
    Megaupload founder Kim Schmitz said Universal "knows that we are
    going to compete with them via our own music venture called
    Megabox.com, a site that will soon allow artists to sell their
    creations directly to consumers while allowing artists to keep 90
    percent of earnings."

    90% for the artists - That would have had an impact on the greedy Universal Music and other Record Labels. So they used their dirty connections and had it shut down.

    This world is a fucked up place for sure.

    MegaUpload was very fair to those without premiun account. 45 seconds between downloads. What a pity that they've gone down! :(

    We are ALL just being robbed blind.

    Musician, Engineer, Carpenter, Mother.............

    Each and every one of Us.

    "This world is a fucked up place for sure."

    At least We are ALL starting to acknowledge and accept that.

    Now WE NEED to change it.
