MegaUpload Founder Kim Dotcom Says He is “No Piracy King” In Interview, Criticizes Archaic Business Models

For the first time since the site’s takedown, MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom sat down for an exclusive interview with John Campbell of Campbell Live. In the 23 minute chat, the two address a wide variety of hotly debated topics, including the accuracy of the projected losses due to MegaUpload’s alleged encouragement of piracy, Dotcom’s status as a scapegoat, the causes of piracy, and the antiquated nature of current media distribution models. I strongly urge you not to consider a side of the argument as an arbiter of absolute truth, but it’s definitely worth seeing Dotcom’s take.
