Mega Has Terminated 95,000 Users for Repeat Copyright Infringement
Mega is one of the Internet’s most popular sites, currently storing more than 87 billion files. As a result, the service is regularly targeted with copyright takedown requests. The company’s latest transparency report reveals that complaints have been climbing recently but pirates should beware. To date, Mega has terminated almost 95,000 repeat infringers.
Founded by Kim Dotcom following the takedown of Megaupload in 2012, Mega’s rise has been nothing less than impressive.
Despite parting ways with the entrepreneur several years ago, the cloud storage platform has gone from strength to strength. Late 2013, the site was hosting around 0.6 million files, a figure that increased to 3.6 billion just a year later. In 2019, the site reported 63.8 billion files on its servers but for Mega, significant further growth is only ever a few moments away.
