The strategy is to mislead everyone into thinking they have the artist in mind when they try and cash in .Thats what big business does , suggests its always for the greater good.
I think the way it would have worked would have been,.
1. / mega upload sells a Mega key
2. / the user can then take whatever they like off the server for ' free '
3. / the artist recieves a one off 0.0000000001% payment for every million times his mp3 is download about 10 years later if he registers for it.
Its like spotify , its a ripoff where the artist earn a pointless % and which destroys small labels ability to sustain on the small turnover amd cheapens their product .
The big busines who cheapen the music of course do well as they have high volume sales for the business making all the cash due to being distributers of pretty much the entire world music catalogue.
Big Business never look after anyone but themselves.
Mega upload were just another parasite like the rest of them.
