MegaVideo is a video sharing website based in Hong Kong. According to Alexa Internet, it is one of the 100 most visited websites in the world. The website officially claims to aim replacing YouTube as the leader in online video [ [http://www.megavideo.com/?c=about MEGAVIDEO - I'm watchin' it ] ] . Unlike YouTube, MegaVideo has a slow moderating action which allows for copyrighted material to be online for long periods.

Megavideo also survives due to its strong ties to advertising, which helps pay for the bandwidth and hosting of its content. Youtube is currently also accepting payments for advertising on their site, where companies are creating videos which resemble 'homemade' videos, but usually with clearly higher production values.

Megavideo recently limited the time non-subscribers can watch its videos, thus forcing people to pay them or get out. This move is expected to seriously damage the website's popularity and appeal among movie fans and others.
