On behalf of the new Megareload and myself, I'd like to greet you once again, and shed a little bit of light on our current whereabouts and status.

Fortunately, we, as a service, have persevered – though there was a bit of turmoil which has somewhat slowed down our progress.

However, the service now has new management - who, despite having less resources than our dear founder, are perhaps even more enthusiastic regarding Bitcoin and user privacy.
Thus, we now intend to be a primarily-Bitcoin service, with all account operations (including our Uploader Incentive Program) being Bitcoin-centric.

Also, we intend to become the most privacy-conscious service currently in existence, with very explicit policies as to log retention. We also pledge to steer clear of PRISM-like deals – and any interactions that would lead us to violate our privacy policies.

Since we might, at some point, face pressures both legal and illegal that will try to pervert our mission and subvert us, we have decided to undertake what has become known as “Corporate Seppuku”.

To quote Cryptocloud (who were among the first to adopt this stance), “In the context of privacy issues, "corporate seppuku" means shutting down a company rather than agreeing to become an extension of the massive, ever-expanding, secretive global surveillance network organized by the U.S. National Security Agency. It means, in short, saying "no." Sometimes, we hear people say that this or that company "had no choice" in what they did. Bullshit. There's always a choice; it's just that the consequences of certain options might be really severe, and are thus not chosen. But that's a choice. It's always a choice.”

So, to recapitulate:

• Megareload is alive
• Megareload is under new management
• The new management is even more enthusiastic about Bitcoin and privacy protection than the old management
• Megareload’s new management has instituted Uploader Incentive Program that is Bitcoin-centric.
• Megareload’s new management has decided to adopt “Corporate Seppuku” policy inspired by a similar Cryptocloud policy.
  This will ensure that as long as it exists, Megareload will remain among the most privacy-friendly, secure and conscientious file sharing services.

Yours  sincerely,
   Jane
