Teenage internet tycoon of the 1990s, Kim Dotcom, born as Kim Schmitz, who was also recently indicted by the U.S. government over making more than $175 million by infringing copyrighted content without authorization on his online file-sharing website Megaupload.com, which was at one time the 13th biggest website on the internet, is all set to launch the new version of Megaupload.
