Message: <blockquote data-quote="MihiCherub" data-source="post: 14306143" data-attributes="member: 238676">Kim  Dotcom has recently claimed that the American government has indirectly  “plant” evidence which led to the whole masquerade in the MegaUpload  case. In response, the US government denied all of those allegations. <img src="http://www.p2pon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/denied-150x150.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Actually, Dotcom’s claim doesn’t insist that the US government planted  illegal files on MegaUpload servers. Instead he pointed out that they  instead “forced” MegaUpload to keep the copyrighted files and use them  in later investigation against NinjaVideo.The US government claimed that Kim’s allegations were irrelevant and  based on unfounded assertions about imagined infringements of its rights  as a criminal defendant. They point out that while the former  cyberlocker alleges that the government forced it to retain copyrighted  files on its servers, it never cited a single communication between them  or a single instruction.It means that the US government didn’t contact MegaUpload in order to  get help with the aforementioned investigation. The truth is that it  instead went to Carpathia – MegaUpload’s hosting firm.According to the brief filed by Dotcom’s lawyers this January, Carpathia  Hosting was informed by the government that about 40 pirated files were  hosted on MegaUpload’s servers. Then, the cyberlocker received no  instructions on whether to keep or remove the content – instead, it was  led to believe the files must be kept.Still, Kim Dotcom insists that the obtained warrants that finally led to  the service’s demise were based on those infringing files. The  government disagrees, saying that the search warrant in question  included other, substantial evidence of criminal intent on the part of  the cyberlocker. For example, paragraphs 13 and 15 of the search warrant  affidavit explained how the cyberlocker affirmatively concealed the  presence of pirated files on its site. In addition, conspiracy ignored  takedown notices made for some illegal files, personally uploaded  illegal files to the site, and selectively eliminated links without  eliminating pirated files. Since each of the individual defendants was  employed by the corporate defendant, what they’ve done is attributable  to MegaUpload.Still, Kim’s lawyers filed a motion to contest the validity of the  warrants, presenting their own view on the measures and conduct adopted  by the US government in their case.----------------------------------Kim  Dotcom has posted a 5-step list on his Tweeter account explaining the  common reasons why people pirate. It is addressed to rights owners and  lobbyists to let them better understand piracy phenomenon. <img src="http://rt.com/files/usa/news/dotcom-us-new-warner-611/high-dotcom-media-kim.n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Dotcom’s first advice says “Create great stuff“. That’s an important  message for content creators believing that they should get paid for  their work despite the questionable quality of their labor. Kim points  out that creating great content is a challenge, and receiving payment  for your work is to be earned.Another important step, says Dotcom, is make it easy to acquire.  Actually, that’s a rather old problem of the industries, because those  keep refusing to accept new methods of distributing their content. As  such, consumers are inclined to purchase products which are available  when and where they want it.Another problem which drives consumers to pirate material is the release  date. Dotcom explains that the solution is “same day worldwide  release”, which makes perfect sense. Of course, people will pirate  films, games and other content in a region where they become  legitimately available later than in the rest of the world. For  instance, the movies are sometimes released in the US weeks or even  months earlier than in Europe.Beside the above mentioned issues, the content creators are also  recommended to consider offering a fair price for their work. For  instance, Louis CK, a well-known stand-up comedian has managed to earn  millions while keeping the audience close by offering affordable prices  of maximum $5 for a video and $45 for a show ticket.Finally, compatibility is also an important issue. MegaUpload’s founder  points out that working on any device is the best strategy. Why do you  think Humble Bundle, a collection of indie video games, managed to make  millions? The answer is obvious: because those video games work on any  OS – Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Everyone can enjoy playing the  games and benefits for both the seller and the consumer are more than  obvious.These five steps were just Dotcom’s matter of opinion, but there can be many other reasons for people to pirate content.Source - et.com</blockquote>
