Gadgehit writes: "The US government has officially filed papers in New Zealand requesting extradition of Megaupload.com founder, Kim Dotcom and three other senior members of the company. The US had 45 days to file the papers from the initial arrest of the four men in New Zealand, who are accused of allowing and helping users of their site to download and share copyrighted data."
Kim Dotcom wants the world to be able to watch his extradition appeal on YouTube.
Last year, there was a series of very troubling rulings by a district court in a case related to the criminal prosecution of Kim Dotcom. This wasn't, technically, part of the actual criminal case against him, but rather a separate effort by the government to steal his money. We've been covering the ridiculous process of civil asset forfeiture for a while, and it's really problematic in general. In Dotcom's case, it's something of a farce.
Ira Rothken has kept Megaupload founder free for years. Can he do it again?
HAHAHA damn, right on the last minute.
It must be horrible not being able to use internet
