Swizz Beatz Outed As Owner Of Megaupload, Comes Under Fire With Record Companies
Swizz Beatz has Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West and Will.i.am in hot water with their label by getting them to promote his site, MegaUpload. The catch is the music industry has been fighting against file sharing, accusing the services MegaUpload offers of supporting piracy.

Reports NY Post:
Beatz’s wife, Alicia Keys, has also promoted the site with her picture and a quote. Swizz had also asked Mary J. Blige, Kim Kardashian, Lil Jon and Macy Gray to promote MegaUpload.
But after the starry promo appeared on YouTube last month, Diddy, Kanye and Will.i.am’s label, Universal Music Group, issued a “take-down notice” to YouTube, saying the artists’ performances were unauthorized. And Mega returned fire with a lawsuit.
I see said the blind man. And now…

I’ve been waiting for some more SOPA coverage from you EB. Fight the Power indeed.
That’s why Swizz never complained about piracy huh? Kanye shrug
