It is  clear now, Henceforth, we have the official team behind a flamboyant  Mega:  insurmountable odds, Kim Dotcom, Mathias Ortmann, Finn Batato, Bram van der Kolk and a legal team headed by Ira Rothken and Paul Davison QC .

Billed as ‘’Privacy Company’’, the site’s first hour online it attracted about 100,000 brand new users and just a few hours later signups had reached about a quarter of million beyond.

 Demand was such that the site couldn’t cope, with many visitors struggling to gain access to the Internet’s newest cyberlocker. We learn. “Server capacity on maximum load. Should get better when initial frenzy is over. Wow!!!” exclaimed Dotcom on Twitter.

“Today is the one year anniversary of the raid and destruction of Megaupload. The allegations against us are wrong, we are innocent and we will prevail,” he began.

“This is not about mocking any government or Hollywood. It’s about our right to innovate.”

Dotcom said the launch of Mega would begin a new conversation on Internet freedom.

“The Internet belongs to no man industry or government,” he said.
