Kim Dotcom

Kim Dotcom is a German-born internet entrepreneur known for founding Megaupload, a large online file-sharing service. Megaupload allowed users to upload and share large files, such as videos and music. In 2012, U.S. authorities shut down Megaupload and charged Dotcom with copyright infringement and piracy, alleging it facilitated illegal sharing of protected content. He has since become a prominent advocate for internet privacy and digital rights, often criticizing government and corporate infringement on online freedoms. His case highlights debates over copyright laws, internet regulation, and user privacy in the digital age.
