Megaupload Founder Starts New Website

from National Public Radio

The U.S. government last year shut down the file sharing web site Megaupload over charges of copyright infringement. It was a popular place for users to share pirated films and music. Over the weekend, the founder of Megaupload launched a successor to the site called Mega. The Justice Department hasn't commented yet, though the film industry has raised concerns.
