Megaupload was the storage side, while Megavideo was a site that allowed users to watch stored videos without downloading through an embedded Flash video player. The public fronts of both sites were scrubbed to look clean, but prosecutors allege that was all to hide the real strategy revealed in internal e-mails: getting users to find the content they want through third-party search sites then encouraging them to buy premium subscriptions by cutting off their viewing after 72 minutes of video: just enough time to not finish watching a feature film.
Dotcom is about one thing: Making money from other people's work. It's not some benevolent gesture or a heroic stand for Internet privacy, it's simply about money in his pocket.

It looks like this guy allowed copyrighted movies and music to be shared for free on his site. Somehow he made big money off this.
The hipsters think it should all be free, and this is ok.
The government wants to prosecute and/or fine for copyright infringement.
Is this the basic Cliff's Notes to this?

Basically you side with the government. Kim's counter is that they didn't have knowledge copyrighted material was being shared.

Agree.
I don't get the love for him.
Plus, he's fat and I thought the OT hated fat.
