<p>First he came for the U.S. <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/12/kim-dotcom-megaupload-government-03122012/">government</a>, but now it looks like the entertainment industry is next on Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom's revenge list. The notorious copyright outlaw took a break from lounging in bubble <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/12/kim-dotcom-megaupload-government-03122012/">baths</a> today to <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-the-us-government-is-wrong-heres-why-120326/">leak</a> some compelling details of his U.S. indictment, a <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/entertainment-industry-was-eager-to-work-with-megaupload-120326/">few</a> of which shed a damning light on some entertainment industry bigwigs.</p>
<p><!--more-->Mr. Dotcom <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/entertainment-industry-was-eager-to-work-with-megaupload-120326/">shared</a> five emails from companies like Disney, Warner Brothers and Fox with TorrentFreak. The emails reveal that just weeks before a federal investigation into Megaupload was launched, entertainment industry officials were interested in partnering with the company.</p>
<p>The emails indicate that the entertainment industry sought advertising and hosting opportunities on Megaupload. One email from a counsel at Walt Disney shows that, while the company wanted to work to distribute content via Megaupload, they were "uncomfortable with a couple of the provisions of your Terms of Use that we feel may jeopardize our rights in our content."</p>
<p>These new details, along with the <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/12/kim-dotcom-megaupload-government-03122012/">claims</a> that U.S. government officials were big Mega fans, muddy an already bizarre case.

The New Zealand courts are <a href="http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/raw-data-kim-dotcoms-bail-conditions-ck-111339">forcing</a> poor Mr. Dotcom to live on less than $9,000 a week, like some kind of quarantined mid-century pauper.</p>
<p>Mr. Dotcom also <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-the-us-government-is-wrong-heres-why-120326/">claims</a> he is being indicted for hosting a 50 Cent song on Megaupload, which is pretty much the exact kind of music we picture him listening to while lowriding in a Mercedes with a "Guilty" license plate. Get rich or die tryin', indeed.</p>
