MPAA want to close 5 more Filehoster

The Motion Picture Associaten of America (MPAA) wants to take more one-click-hoster from the network. In addition, the MPAA wants Megaupload go further one-click hosters on the collar. This was announced by Alfred Perry, spokesman for the worldwide protection of content from Paramount Pictures, recently at a conference. If the file hosters who are on the hit list of the MPAA, are in fact five portals - Putlocker, Wupload, Depositfiles, File and Serve Mediafire. According to the MPAA should combine these services annually 41 billion page views for the views, making it five for every person on this planet.

Is unclear whether Perry give here only loudly proclaimed or actual investigations are already underway for the file hosting services. Due to the high level of public attention in the case Megaupload closed already some one-click-hoster or voluntarily restricted its functions to prevent the content from piracy and to move the attention of the authorities.

Even if it is the announcement by Perry just a bluff, this could be the fear among the leaders again call to mind, without the MPAA must be active. Against the accusations by Alfred Perry is one of the aforementioned one-click hosters already fought. In a statement, insisted Mediafire careful not to file hosters who are after a dubious business model, to be lumped together. According to information provided Mediafire have never advertised for homeless Megaupload users and has always fought against piracy. Next we have never paid users to upload files and frequented also cooperating with the major music labels and movie studios. Must now respond to show how the respective file hosting services on the announcement by the MPAA.

Kim Schmitz case turns to a political issue

Act leader John Banks asked for a $50,000 political donation to be split into two parts so it could be made anonymously, says Kim Dotcom and one other witness.Dotcom said the request was made on April 15, 2010, when Mr Banks was preparing to campaign for the Auckland mayoralty.

He said there were at times three other people in the room while the donation was discussed - and Mr Banks rang later to thank him for it.
The allegation comes after police were asked to investigate Mr Banks' listing of a $15,000 donation from SkyCity as "anonymous".

Political candidates are required by law to declare donations if they know who made them. Failure to do so is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment and up to a $10,000 fine.
A vacancy is automatically created if any MP is convicted of an offence punishable by two years or more, no matter what punishment they get.

In the case of Mr Banks, a conviction would place at risk his Epsom seat under the Electoral Act and force a byelection. The loss would leave the Government exposed, with its 59 votes in the 121-seat Parliament supplemented only by United Future's one and the Maori Party's three.

Last night, Dotcom spoke from his home in Coatesville, just north of urban Auckland, to which he is bailed until a hearing on his possible extradition to the US in August on charges of criminal copyright, money laundering and racketeering.
The charges followed a high-profile arrest in January, after which Mr Banks said he hardly knew the internet tycoon. He said his contact with Dotcom was limited to a total of 20 minutes conversation and he had been to Dotcom's mansion in Coatesville only once for dinner.

But film of the event - Dotcom's birthday party - showed Mr Banks making a toast to the tycoon.
Footage showed Mr Banks raising a glass and saying, "I'm going to propose a toast to Kim Dotcom. Please fill your glasses and stand. Happy birthday and best wishes to Kim Dotcom, Mona and his family."
Staff at the mansion said it was one of three visits. The pair also met at Princes Wharf on New Year's Eve 2010 when Dotcom put on a $600,000 fireworks display.
The pair first met in April 2010 when Dotcom sent his helicopter to collect Mr Banks from Mechanics Bay in downtown Auckland.

Dotcom said the pair met in the mansion, sitting at a large square table, and chatted.
Bodyguard Wayne Tempero was present, as was one of Dotcom's butlers. His company chief financial officer also attended briefly.

"He mentioned the elections were coming up [and] he was raising money for his campaign," Dotcom said. "He said it was hard to raise money in New Zealand, the mayoral campaign was coming up and he's trying to raise funds for that.
"I kind of liked the guy. I said, 'I'm happy to help.' I told Wayne to write a cheque for $50,000.
"His [Mr Banks'] eyes got a little bit bigger at that moment."
Mr Tempero asked the chief financial officer to come into the room to write the cheque.
"John said, 'Wait a minute'," Dotcom recalled last night. "'It would be good if you could split it up into two payments of 25 [thousand dollars], then I don't declare publicly who made it'."

Dotcom said one cheque was made out in his own name, or the name of his company Megastuff Ltd, and the other in Mr Tempero's name.
"He [Mr Banks] called me a few days after the cheques entered his bank account and he thanked me personally."
Last night, Mr Banks said there would be nothing wrong with his telling people how to give anonymously.
"If someone says to me, 'How can I put money into your campaign?' what would be wrong with telling them that - if that was that case?
"I could say, 'Firstly, you should talk to people who are raising money for me. But if you want to put money into my campaign, you can put it in two ways. You can put it in anonymously or you can put it in and have it declared.' It's quite legitimate.

"If Kim Dotcom wants to put money into my campaign anonymously he is quite entitled to do it. Whether it is 1000, 5000, 50,000 or 500,000 [dollars], he is quite entitled to do it under the act.
"Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. If Mr Kim Dotcom put money into my mayoral campaign, you should tell him I'm grateful and thank you very much."
The most recent contact was through Mr Tempero, whom Mr Banks phoned for a hotel recommendation in Hong Kong last December.
Dotcom, who rented the top floor of the Hyatt there for six years, told Mr Banks it was the best place to stay. He arranged for his limo to collect Mr Banks from the airport and later to drive him to a helicopter pad for a trip to Macau.

Mr Banks said there was no issue in his stay in Hong Kong. He paid for every aspect of the trip himself.
Act Party president Chris Simmons said he had full confidence in Mr Banks. "There's a bit of a beat-up going on. It was all to do with the mayoral campaign. It doesn't have anything to do with Act."
Prime Minister John Key did not respond to calls for comment.

Maybe Megaupload Boss Kim Schmitz gets lucky

The criminal charges against Kim Dotcom in the United States may never get to trial, the judge overseeing the case has told the FBI. United States district court judge Liam O'Grady said he didn't know if "we are ever going to have a trial in this matter" after being told Dotcom's file-sharing company had never been formally served with criminal papers by the US.

The comment has been seized on by Dotcom's lawyers, who say it could lead to the extradition case in New Zealand being tossed out. It follows a paperwork error by New Zealand authorities, who seized Dotcom's property without giving proper notice. The restraining order on his property was finally granted last week. Megaupload was the world's biggest file-sharing website and claimed it was responsible for 4 per cent of internet traffic. Dotcom faces a court hearing for extradition to the United States after a warrant was issued for him and six others on criminal copyright charges relating to music and movies on its computer servers. Lawyers acting for the US have said they will argue Dotcom should be extradited because he was a member of an organised criminal group, which carries a sentence of five years.

The US Government needs to get over the hurdle of a five-year jail sentence to meet the criteria for extradition. Copyright charges in NZ carry a maximum of four years. Judge O'Grady raised the prospect of there being no trial while hearing arguments over FBI applications to wipe Megaupload's vast database of members' files. He said further study needed to be made of the failure to serve Megaupload, adding; "I frankly don't know that we are ever going to have a trial in this matter."

He said the arguments around the future of the data on the 1100 computers servers seized from Megaupload could be "premature". He wanted more information on why Megaupload had not been served. The FBI's lack of service meant Megaupload was "kind of hanging out there", Judge O'Grady said. Dotcom's US-based lawyer, Ira Rothken, said it was the defence's understanding that it was not legally possible for Megaupload to be served with papers accusing it of criminal acts.

He said it would be possible to serve the company with papers for a civil case and - as happened in NZ - for individuals to be remotely charged with crimes. "My understanding as to why they haven't done that is because they can't. We don't believe Megaupload can be served in a criminal matter because it is not located within the jurisdiction of the United States." Mr Rothken said he would have expected the FBI to have had the same legal advice, having described the case as the "largest copyright case in the US, which also means the world".

Mr Rothken said a key defence against extradition was the claim by Dotcom and others that they were accused of offences not covered by the law on extradition. Prosecutor Jay Prabhu told the Virginia court hearing it might not matter because Dotcom owned 68 per cent of the company. He said it was not a case of a corporation which might normally turn up. "It's seven people who actually don't want to show up." Meanwhile, legal negotiations are under way to have jewellery and personal effects belonging to Dotcom's wife, Mona, returned.

The MISTAKES of Kim Schmitz and Megaupload

U.S. authorities have closed the file hosting service MegaUpload and arrested four employees of the company, including Megaupload-chief Kim Schmitz aka Kim dotcom. The Megaupload operators should have earned about 175 million U.S. dollars with the service. The U.S. Justice Department accused the operators of the file hoster Megaupload widespread copyright infringement and is associated with the site prior to seven individuals and two companies.

$ 175 million income! Very lucrative the whole thing!

They are accused of being responsible for a number of online piracy of copyrighted works on a large scale. You deserve to criminal activities with some 175 million U.S. dollars and have caused a damage of around 500 million U.S. dollars, divide the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice jointly. The focus of the U.S. authorities are the companies Megaupload Limited and the persons behind VestorLimited. This threatens to various offenses by 5 to 20 years in prison It would involve one of the biggest cases of criminal copyright infringement in the United States, said the U.S. Department of Justice.

$ 175 million worth! An anonymous "shell company" in an "offshore" Land costs only a few $ 1,000. Directors and shareholders are only "name with smoke and mirrors" completely ANONYMOUS!

The mastermind of Megaupload, according to the U.S. authorities, the 37-year-old Kim Schmitz aka Kim Dotcom aka Kim Tim Jim Vestor, who lives in Hong Kong and New Zealand officially. He founded and was director Megaupload and sole member of Vestor Limited, a company belonging to the several Megaupload related websites.

Officially live in a country which is under the British Crown, and therefore EU law? Thats really stupid. And the sole shareholder? With fully own name! So, not an anonymous "offshore - Attorney Director!"

In addition to Kim Schmitz are also resident in Germany Finn Batato (Chief Marketing Officer), Sven Echternach (Head of Business Development), Mathias Ortmann (Chief Technical Officer and co-founder), who lives in Slovakia Julius Bencko (graphic designer), the Estonian Andrus Nomm (head of software development) and the person responsible for the network structure Dutchman Bram van der Kolk accused. Schmitz, Batato, Ortmann and van der Kolk, were arrested today at the request of U.S. authorities in New Zealand. Bencko Echternach and Nomm are still on the run.

Living in Germany ...? How stupid must be there? Slovakia belongs to the EU and therefore has to comply with EU laws. To New Zealand ... see above!US, Netherlands and Canada - all under copyright law.To purchase a villa on  OWN name in New Zealand and from there;-) copyright hurtful actions NOT AVOID!

THAT was the problem. MEGAUPLOAD yes because no laws had broken in the true sense. But when reminders go to delete files that are not followed copyright laws- is PUNISHABLE!

The FBI initiated into investigation of Megaupload, but also the law enforcement authorities of other countries were involved, such as the Federal Criminal Police Office. In February 2010 it was reported that Schmitz bought a rated at 30 million U.S. dollars Villa in New Zealand.

In addition, more than 20 raids conducted in eight countries, while Possession valued at approximately $ 50 million dollars and the server from Megaupload in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands seized. In addition, 18 domains were confiscated. Megaupload.com had claims to more than 1 billion visits, more than 150 million registered users and 50 million daily visitors. The service was financed by advertising and paid premium accounts. The business model of Megaupload had been aimed at users that upload popular copyrighted works, which are then offered for download millions of users. Here is the offer has been structured so that most users were prevented from using it for long-term retention of personal data as files are deleted if they were not downloaded on a regular basis. Of users were also rewarded financially for the uploading of popular content instead of their accounts blocked.

Forex specialists and other funny critters

I just write what comes in my mind. First: Forex (trading) is not entirely unknown to me. I know how it works, what needs to be done, how, when and with what. Many "expatriates" who live abroad and especially in Asia, forex make supplementary income so they are be able to finance their stay there.

This goes well until a certain point. Of mental stress, problems with technology and other "several accidents," such as "placed in front of the notebook" sit for hours, except in countries where it normally lives on the beach, lounges or nightclubs to spend time in nice company. For me, FOREX is just junk!

Sorry that I write so openly. Surely now is the evil one or the other of me. Because the "his" life, is "his" income. But there are a lot of opportunities to make money much better and easier. Automatically, so to speak! With a lot of time for the beautiful things in life!

Kim Schmitz has led the way! One Click Hosting is still the future. File sharing like Peer2Peer nearly anyone use it now . Far too dangerous (especially in Europe and USA, where ISPs and Government monitors what you doing.)

Just last week, I had throw my rare time with a forex "specialist". He has been interested for a OCH investment. First looks everything good. He lives in Thailand. But because the residency requirements have indeed tightened and he is not yet 50, he has to put money in the bank. He may not work - it's forbidden. It threatens to jail. He sits, but most of the time at his notebook and runs "to be" forex trading. (If anyone check this and where it money come from, he will be ended in jail) After he like to get much infomation as possible as to the work that was going to get to the OCH, and afterwards has been found that it was a room for $ 15US too expensive for him - it shows this is actually even more to keep what FOREX is for ;-))))))

Some skills - not just the most and run through that! A recognized expert in forex once explained as follows.

Probably you "Forex" already well known. If not, I enlighten you on short: This is the foreign exchange trading, where to buy currency for currency, precious metals like gold or silver or sold. This requires an account with a broker required to be there. Of course, this alone is still a long way: Who in Forex - Trading to make money, desperately needed a good education, talent, good experience, a lot of discipline, good nerves, a lot of patience and time, high stamina and to a flair for instinctive decisions, which one can not learn ...

So if it works sometimes it does not mean at the money ALWAYS flows. Forex traders are kind of like poker players. They NEVER lose to talk but only about what they have "won".

In contrast, an investment in a crisis-proof  and serious business! Simple and straightforward with a clear result. 15 000 - U.S. $ generate 7% after 6 months of 1050 U.S. $ PER MONTH profit! How this can work? Just the advertising revenue to achieve a multi-hundred times;-) there are 7% more peanuts. And for a bank loan we would have to pay interest also!

Megaupload Files of foreign customers are lost

As you may recall, the MPAA is among those who have said that Carpathia, the hosting company Megaupload used, must retain the data on its servers -- even though the Justice Department has said it's done with it and Carpathia was free to delete the evidence. Others, of course have also asked for access to their data. And, most importantly, Megaupload itself has asked if it can keep the data. Carpathia wants nothing to do with it, because it's costing the company $9,000 per day to hang onto the servers without doing anything else with them.

However, in response to all of this, the MPAA has again gone to the court to suggest that if Carpathia gave the content to anyone else, that alone would represent copyright infringement.

The sale or transfer of those copies from Carpathia to Megaupload or any other third party would constitute an unauthorized "distribut[ion] ... to the public" under the Copyright Act

That seems like a pretty big legal stretch by the MPAA's typically overreaching lawyers. Depending on who the content was transferred to, it doesn't automatically mean distribution "to the public."

Of course, the continued insane paranoia of the MPAA continues to shine through in this filing as well. It insists that if Megaupload is given back the servers, it will ship them to some other jurisdiction and immediately relaunch the site:

"A sale or transfer of the servers to Megaupload (or any of the defendants) would raise a significant risk that Megaupload will simply ship the servers, hard drives or other equipment -- and all of the infringing content they contain -- to a foreign jurisdiction and relaunch the infringing Megaupload service, which would result in untold further infringements of the MPAA members’ copyrighted works. If so, the renewed criminal enterprise might be beyond any effective legal remedy."

This also seems like a reach. All of the principles are under arrest and facing extradition to the US where they'll face criminal charges. One would imagine they all recognize that it doesn't do their case any good to set the site up again in another jurisdiction.
