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?
Indeed a waste... guess they just wanted to mess up MegaUpload at whatever cost to satisfy the boys at the MPAA and RIAA.
And one big issue is that the thousands of people who used megaupload legitimately may never get their files back.
this really pisses me off they just did all of this to disrupt the digital world. Karma is all I can say.
What a joke!
its bs like this that show how governments just serve corporations and are not here for the people or for logic seriously isn't the fbi supposed to solve alot worse crimes
