MEGANET - Kim Dotcom Announces Crowdfunded Encrypted Replacement to the Internet

 Which is preferable, free Internet susceptible to spying and tampering, as is the case with Mark Zuckerberg's next big project, or encrypted, potentially very expensive, crowdfunded Internet provided by the Web's most legendary pirate king?

If you believe Kim Dotcom, world citizens will soon enough have a choice. The MegaUpload founder and potentially most successful pirate-by-proxy ever, has been alluding to a new communications protocol dubbed MegaNet for years.

Napolitano seems so sure, one wonders how she knows that such a catastrophe is not only possible, but sure to happen, as she prepares to officially leave office September 6th.
