Quote:Dotcom has claimed that the new service will be a lot safer and that users’ data will be encrypted. "You hold the keys to what you store in the cloud, not us," the teaser site read.

The new domain, Mega.co.nz, will be protected by the law and that lobbyist won’t be able to do anything about it Dotcom has claimed. “The judiciary in New Zealand works. Judges are independent and not influenced by politics. That has been our experience so far,” Dotcom told TorrentFreak.

“Prime Minister John Key can have as many dinners with Hollywood executives and copyright lobbyists as he likes. The simple fact is that the NZ government, which has been acting like a subsidiary of the US government, is not above the law,” he explains.

Dotcom believes that if the New Zealand government goes about trying to ban Mega or other similar service through a new legislation, cloud storage would near its extinction. “The New Zealand government can try to draft new legislation to ban services like Mega but that would be the end of cloud storage and online service providers in New Zealand and probably also the end of the current government,” Dotcom explained.
