So just for fun, I'm going to play the contrarian here:
"Oh come on. We put that system in place so that artists could get paid for uploading their tracks and releasing them for free to the community. If you uploaded your own music to mega, and 1,000,000 of your fans downloaded it, then we would share some of the advertising revenue with you.
That's it.
It's a cooperative business model that helps struggling artists. Need I remind you again that we worked with recording companies to remove copyrighted content?"
