The Next Web reports Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom has hinted that his Megabox music service will be launched this year. This new site will allow artists to sell their music to consumers and keep 90 percent of earnings.
Dotcom’s new venture, Megabox — a service that allows artists to sell music direct to users — was first unveiled before his arrest and had been presumed to be over since the Megaupload site was taken down by the US Department of Justice in January.

Despite his problems, the New Zealand exile explained that the project was still making progress in June, telling Torrent Freak: “You can expect several Megabox announcements [in 2012] including exclusive deals with artists who are eager to depart from outdated business models.”
