1340585 2013-05-10 22:33:00 Innocent my arse!!

Quit pushing your barrow.So what is he guilty of?
The GCSB and the NZ Police did not find anything legally that they can arrest him for.
Because of this, the FBI does not have a case. The FBI do not have enough facts of their own that they can get him extradited.

The law in both NZ and US states that he is innocent until proven guilty. No one has yet proven him guilty in either country.

So there's my case Zippy - where's yours?

NZ does not have to prove anything, it is up to the States to prove to NZ Courts they have a case for extradition. Let's wait and see.

1340589 2013-05-11 04:08:00 Meh KDC can do what he wants. His new site works pretty well.

His intentions are pretty harmless (secure file hosting), and as far as NZ is concerned he hasn't done anything wrong to hurt the country (that we know of). Yes his service was abused, yes he probably helped users abuse copyright. But as it's been mentioned many other companies do the same. NOT to say that makes it ok for him to do it, he's just a cleaver con man who has support.

It's not NZ's issue really. The other countries can battle their asses to gore and back as far as I'm concerned. as long as the NZ people don't end up paying for the damn cost of it

My personal stance is, until he personally does something that impacts the people, economy or reputation of NZ he's not our problem. The rest of the world can suck a fat one until they scrounge evidence against him. Not to say we should harbour him as a fugitive. He's just chilling away in his costco mansion. Deal with it.

1340591 2013-05-12 07:20:00 Dotcom is a convicted criminal in Germany. He is a very good conman who still seems to have the media and a fair proportion of NZs population conned.
Being anti US and anti NZ government does not change that.
KDC was exonerated in Germany by the courts of any wrong doing.

1340593 2013-05-12 23:27:00 Oh come on. Everyone knew exactly what Megaupload was used for.
He knew exactly what it was used for. I knew exactly what it was used for.
We do need to stop acting like hes the peoples savior or some sort of Robin Hood.

Was there a massive over-reaction by gung-ho NZ authorities : yes . But that still doesnt make his dealings OK.

If you dont actually do the piracy but have a site that is part of the piracy process, then you are just as guilty .
Sort of like driving the getaway car to a bank robbery.

But as mentioned, youtube is rife with piracy, movies, TV programs, Full Music albums.
Cant see anyone gunning after Google with the same vigor, and they have done far worse (if I tried what google has done I'd be arrested)

What law/laws did he break then? Because even the FBI/DOJ don't seem to know...
