Kim Dotcom's plan to launch (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/11/01/1451221/kim-dotcom-outs-mega-teaser-site-finalizes-domain-name) a 'bigger, better, faster, stronger, safer' Megaupload successor, Mega, is already in peril as Gabon's government has suspended the domain me.ga (http://paritynews.com/web-news/item/467-mega-suspended-dotcom-says-we-have-alternative-domain). Announcing his decision, Gabon's Communication Minister Blaise Louembe said 'I have instructed my departments... to immediately suspend the site www.me.ga' in a bid to 'protect intellectual property rights' and 'fight cyber crime effectively.' Dotcom revealed through a tweet (https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/265940286524493824) that he is in possession of an alternative domain name and that the recent suspension 'demonstrates the bad faith witch hunt the U.S. government is on.'"
