<\/em><\/strong>MegaUpload<\/a> founder Kim Dotcom<\/a>\u2019s new cloud-storage service has been accused of serving as a platform for committing copyright violations, according to Gabon\u2019s communications minister.<\/p>\n

Gabon\u2019s involvement in the issue comes due to Dotcom hosting his new service – simply called Mega – on a Gabon-based domain, to give it the url “Me.ga”.<\/p>\n

Mega was created to prevent US law from taking control of the service, as it allows users to share files that will be encrypted with a key that only those users will have access to.<\/p>\n

It would now seem as if the\u00a0Gabonese authorities are the ones that Dotcom has to worry about.<\/p>\n

“The [new] site is not even functional yet,” said Ira Rothken, the Silicon Valley attorney who oversees MegaUpload’s worldwide defense. “MegaUpload and Kim are innocent and presumed innocent. It sounds like a lack of net neutrality in Gabon… We’re just going to use a different domain.”<\/p>\n
