Kim Dotcom is planning to unleash an email service with ensured protection against third party spies invading emails.
The New Zealand based internet entrepreneur has had major success with his latest cloud storage service, Mega, which was unveiled this past January. Three million users have joined the site and in just its first month users have stored 125m of files. Commenting on his triumph, Dotcom stated "It took Dropbox two years to achieve that." Discussing the high security of his new email service through the website Mega, he stated "we're going to extend this [Mega] to secure email which is fully encrypted so that you won't have to worry that a government or internet service provider will be looking at your email."
The U.S. government charged Kim Dotcom in January of 2012 with criminal copyright infringement via his site called Megaupload in which users could upload, stream and share files. He is currently battling the U.S government, which is trying to export him from under New Zealand and drag him onto U.S. soil to face his accusations in the court of law. Dotcom claims Megaupload complied with the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act if files downloaded were copyrighted, saying "the DMCA was supposed to protect us and give us safe harbour but they went after that and took us down." Since Dotcom has established residency in New Zealand, immigration officers feel he can contribute wealth amongst their society and are keeping him safe from outside allegations as of now.
