In a pair of Twitter posts on Monday, Dotcom suggested that both Megabox and an unnamed additional service would launch "this year."

Last December, Dotcom described Megabox in a guest post for TorrentFreak as a service that would allow recording artists to sell music downloads direct to consumers and keep 90 per cent of the earnings.

If that happens, and if the rumours about being raided because he planned such a service are true, the entertainment industry's plan to stop artists from being independant has failed.
