So it's OK to cut down tall poppies just because they're trying to do something someone else has already done?

You'll not go far with that mentality.

if by "cut down tall poppies" you mean bring mega's claims of security and privacy in-line with reality, sure.

there are plenty of people doing more interesting work with encrypted data storage. to suggest that mega is blazing a new trail is absurd. backblaze has been using a similar key-per-file encryption method since 2007, except they actually executed properly.
