The article seems to be pulling in two directions on MEGA:
1. It's identical to Dropbox (or spideroak, or tarsnap, etc.)
2. Its only viable use case is piracy.
These two claims seem at odds...
If nothing else, it's Dropbox where I get 50 GB of free space. If Dropbox can be legitimate and viable, I don't see why this can't (once they work through some kinks and get a good client).
