Kim Dotcom's new Mega project
I was neutral on this guy until I read the wired story, and then I became a fan.<p>He is a self made man (way more so than romney!), he suffers from persistent discrimination (overweight) and he has cycled thru the hero's journey.<p>I have heard a lot of these "major success stories", but they are people who have been put in ideal situations and then they made the best of it.  That is just emotionally dead for me.  Kim's story is more interesting because it is relevant to ME.  I can imagine myself in the same spot, and it overlaps with my own personal history (timewise) a bit too.<p>Ultimately, I believe there is minimal legal differences between youtube in the early days (which was made successful via RAMPANT piracy), and megaupload.<p>Screw the government.
