ALLEGATIONS made by six major Hollywood film studios that file-sharing website Megaupload was designed to profit from copyright infringement are "completely false", its New Zealand-based founder Kim Dotcom says.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced earlier this week that 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Universal, Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros had filed a lawsuit against Megaupload and its key operators - including Dotcom - in a US court.

It's alleged the now defunct website facilitated, encouraged and profited from massive copyright infringement of movies and television shows before the website was shut down by US authorities in January 2012.

MPAA global general counsel Steven Fabrizio says Megaupload was never designed to be a cloud storage website and users were rewarded for uploading popular content.

The MPAA says Megaupload users were paid based on how many times the content was downloaded by others.

But Dotcom told Radio New Zealand these allegations are "completely false".

Megaupload wouldn't allow rewards to be paid for files that were bigger than 100MB and movies and television shows that were downloaded were much larger than this, Dotcom said.

Mr Fabrizio denied that the MPAA is making an example of Dotcom and Megaupload.

"We are trying to bring some justice to a site that existed for the purpose of engaging in massive copyright infringement," he said.

Dotcom is already facing extradition to the US on charges of copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering relating to Megaupload.
