While out on bail as he appeals the case, he has introduced a new company,Mega; confronted the prime minister in Parliament; released an album; and founded the Internet Party. The party advocates decriminalizing marijuana, setting a national goal of 100 percent sustainable energy generation by 2025, repealing surveillance legislation, and amending copyright laws to protect Internet companies from ‘civil liability arising from the action of their users,’ a fix that could shield hosting services like Mega.”
