Controversial web entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has brushed off ongoing lawsuits and the protests of copyright holders to relaunch his file-sharing business with plans to base part of it in Australia.

The launch comes exactly one year after his original Megaupload site was shut down after a dawn helicopter raid by the Auckland police.
Mr Dotcom said the service had at least one major Australian investor and technology suppliers who were working closely on the project — via redwolf.newsvine.com
