Does that means you have something to show which might stand the comparison?
The guy did it, has a strong brand recognition and people who publicly expressed their sadness that megaupload was gone and their eagerness to give him their business again.
Yeah that's one way of looking at it and I once did so myself. I've seen various projects of Kim Schmitz (aka Dotcom, aka Kimble) since the late 90s and all of them ended up failing because they weren't sustainable in one way or another. But he always came back with something fresh... This time he is trying the same things twice. So my personal opinion: lame.
I think mega ran into trouble because it was parked in a grey zone. Also didn't help mega that it was run by someone that in his previous venture ended up getting arrested, deported back to Germany and charged for embezzlement.
The issue here isn't that you need to do something better to critique what someone else has done. You don't need to write a book to have an opinion on a book.
The issue is that it adds nothing useful to the discussion.

Now he is out there to get some.
I say good luck to him.
