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!
