Maybe he should be investigated!!

He didn't sell bullshit shares to people, then take their money and run.

1372337 2014-04-10 07:28:00 A bit of a Red Herring don't you think? A road builder makes it possible for you to break the law by speeding but they definately do not encourage you to do so. Dotcom's whole business model was set up to reward/pay those who made illegal content available for download.


However making cars that can go faster than 100kmh knowing people will do just that is the same thing though as making a data storage centre. Coincidently both Google drive, and all cloud storage can be used for sharing not just Mega.

1372338 2014-04-10 23:36:00 The real difference is :

- was your business model PRIMARILY dependent on illegal activity
- were you fully aware that 95% of your users/clients/customers are using your product ONLY for illegal activities
- have you been encouraging such illegal activities

yes, yes, yes ???


And speaking of Google :
I see no arrests, no Raids by armed Police, no freezing of assets & seizing hardware, after they were caught 'slurping' from there google cars
Joe public's have been arrested & convicted for doing the similar things.
Double standards ? Claim it was a 'Mistake' & its somehow OK . A 'mistake' that someone had to write software & install hardware to do .

That's making it a bit too simple for some of the readers here who believe the fat Kraut is the second coming :)

If you think he is good luck on you, as for me I don't think he has done right but I don't see as he hasn't done (in this case) anything that others are also guilty of, but not being an American company made him fair game to the Americans. Does make one wonder what would have happened if he was an American employing Americans, my guess is still in business.
My issue is with the spineless Key and it seems a lot of clowns believe his crap and want him back in power god help us, as there isn't anyone in parliament capable of running the country
