Kim Dotcom's Mega Loses Web Domain Before Debut

Kim Dotcom's announced online file sharing service Mega will not be available at the web address me.ga, Stuff.co.nz reports.

The .ga top level domain belongs to Gabon and, as it turns out, its government is not too happy about hosting Dotcom's service.

Gabon's communications minister Blaise Louembe has instructed that the domain be suspended, commenting that his country "cannot serve as a platform or screen for committing acts aimed at violating copyrights, nor be used by unscrupulous people."

Dotcom's answer came via Twitter. "Don't worry. We have an alternative domain. This just demonstrates the bad faith witch hunt the US government is on," he tweeted.
