Well there are rumors now that Megaupload was shut down because they wanted to offer a legal service which potentially could have destroyed the classic music industry: Megabox!

But basically it sounds like they wanted to create a music service that would give artists 90% of the money made and Megabox would have even paid artists that would like to distribute their songs to fans for free.

If that's the really the real reason behind Megauploads shutdown... what can I say, our world seems to be even more corrupted than I thought it would be.
