Sounds pretty good actually, and not just from the point of view of sharing warez. It remains to be seen just how difficult to crack the encryption will be: I can imagine people adding servers to the Mega for the purpose of collecting files for offline decryption. With proper encryption this would be a hopeless endeavor of course, but, as I say, the encryption has to be <i>proper</i>.
Well hopefully this will not be good for sharing illegal stuff, but putting the liability onto the uploader is a good thing, and I guess anyone in possession of an encryption key would have to have had it provided by the uploader, so possibly complicit.
The liability needs to be on the the uploader and the downloader UNLESS the host knowingly allows something illegal to be shared.
A simple too would be not allowing filenames with obvious pirate groups names in them, or key words.
Encryption only helps up to a point... many warez groups will upload something and then share out the encryption key. The authorities just have to download it use the key, check it's warez and then prosecute the uploader and/or downloader...
Anyway, the governments will just tighten the law (which is a good thing) to deal with this...
Screw the warez! This is freely available encrypted storage! If it works as well as they say ti will, it will a major step forward.
