Kim Dotcom, the enigmatic man in charge of file sharing website Megaupload, has revealed his own single titled 'Mr President'.

Dotcom's message in the song appears to be that the attempts to censor the internet, specifically file sharing, is 'killing innovation' and that he is strongly against it.

Sample lyrics from the track include: "The war for the internet had begun! Hollywood is in control of politics! The government is killing innovation! Don't let them get away with that!"

"This is the time to stand up and fight. By any means, if we don't do anything, they will just blame it on the copyright."

Comparing himself to Martin Luther King, Dotcom adds: "I have a dream like Dr. King."

Megaupload's domain names were seized by the U.S. Justice Department and the owner arrested sover charges linked to copyright infringement in January, 2012.

Dotcom was originally named Kim Schmitz but changed his name by deedpoll in 2005.
