The shutdown of file-hoster Megaupload.com and arrest of founder Kim DotCom was a shocker. Now while the trial is still underway, Kim DotCom is all determined to give anti-piracy agencies future sleepless nights with his promise for a new API which would make file-sharing, safe, easy and private.
Tweeting “They abused the wrong guy. I am going to turn this world upside down. Power to the people. Bye bye Echelon." (Echelon - a secret government operated global digital spying network), in further tweets Kim DotCom revealed his plans for an API which seems to offer developers power to create file-sharing applications which would use storage and bandwidth of globally distributed servers with on-the-fly encryption, ensuring complete privacy from government agencies.
Developers get ready. The Mega API will provide incredible powers. Our API and your Mega tools will change the world.

We are building a massive global network. All non-US hosters will be able to connect servers & bandwidth. Get ready.
