megaboxLast Thursday the US Justice Department came down hard on Megaupload and its mega founder, Kim Dotcom. In the days since, there has been a shake-up of sorts in the digital storage realm. Several smaller sites have drastically changed their business models. Others, like MediaFire, reached out to me after I published this post attempting to distance themselves from Megaupload. However, yesterday, a new theory surfaced that indicates Megaupload's demise had less to do with piracy than previously thought. This theory stems from a 2011 article detailing Megaupload's upcoming Megabox music store and DIY artist distribution service that would have completely disrupted the music industry.
