And the fact that the US Justice Dept can just grab people from little old New Zealand like that is a bit worrying. This is the same guy who gave us fireworks! www.nzherald.co.nz |

| 1255071 | 2012-01-19 22:39:00 | Yeah they say that there were illegal uploads there...which i know there were...but what about the Majority of Legal documents and files etc. i have a premium account there, and i had legal uploads, files which were too big to email what happens to my subscription fees i had a lifetime sub there. It looks like you've lost your documents! (and your subscription fees) Unless you call Obama. So much for the Cloud. Kim Schmitz made $42m last year. |

| 1255073 | 2012-01-19 23:05:00 | That New Zealand Police are involved in a "crime" that is alleged from the United States is a disgrace. So we are going to have the United States movie or music industry determine who can be arrested and hauled over to the States to stand trial. More at Gizmodo here (gizmodo.com) |

| 1255076 | 2012-01-19 23:28:00 | A few Miami Vice fantasies fulfilled it seems ... www.police.govt.nz As this is a US Department of Justice led investigation comment from New Zealand Police and OFCANZ is limited to today's operation in the Auckland area. The website of the US DOJ has further information about the investigation. www.justice.gov Disgraceful! "If you want to know what YOUR TAX DOLLARS are paying for, please see the US DOJ website" |

| 1255078 | 2012-01-19 23:43:00 | [I] Bullshit. Piracy does not equal lost revenue, if the pirate had no intention to pay for the content anyway (which is often the case). Nasty case of very selective morality here. So shoplifting is not a crime either, if you had no intention of buying the desired bauble? No matter how you try to sanitise or justify it, taking the property of others without colour of right, or intention to pay and thus depriving the rightful owner of lawful revenue, is and shall always be, theft. The perpetrator is then, by definition, a thief, and a crime has been commited. Shame! Billy |
