Business / Teh Internets Kim Dotcom Prepping Megabox Music Service to "Unchain Artists and Fans"

Kim Dotcom is readying a new online service called Megabox that will provide a legal method for people to digitally access music while still paying musicians, an approach, he posits, that will “[unchain] artists and fans.” Dotcom was the operator of Megaupload, which the US Department of Justic shuttered in January for alleged copyright infringement.
Check out the video below for further enlightenment and major-label '90s electronica flashback.

This won't be available in the US, do to the ongoing litigation, which is stupid (services should not be held responsible for third-party copyright violations), but it's pretty exciting. Kim Dotcom is a total card.
