ok its obviously ad supported. which i can't see thanks to adblock. but honestly, there has to be some catch to this service... did a search for megaupload didn't come up with anything, has it not been mentioned before??

1. Get a large group of users accustomed to using the free service.
2. Switch to paid service.
3. Profit

Worked for several photo storage sites.

Once it starts getting more popular they will probably cap file sizes and speeds greatly for free users and offer a 'premium, no limits' account for some monthly membership price just like rapidshare does..
