Maybe I'm just completely ignorant of law, but how/why can he be extradited to a foreign country in this manner? Did he previously reside in and operate out of the US?
-
NZ has an extradition treaty with the the US.
Apparently potential copyright infringement is extradition worthy
-
Many countries have extradition agreements.
Y’know those spam calls you get? Where they try to say they are the government? The reason they get away with that is that your country doesn’t have an extradition agreement with their country.
That’s a drastic oversimplification but it’s still true

Say what you will about ole Kim, but I spent a good chunk of time sailing the seven seas with his assistance.
-
But why is his name Dotcom.
-
He changed it, used to be USENET
-
-
Because he’s weird and we are legally allowed to change our names

Dude was once the top MW2 player in the world

Unsure if MechWarrior or Modern Warfare....

Techbros will deadname you but will change their name to Kim Dotcom
-
Has Kim been transphobic? Or is this just you generally hating techbros (not that I'd really consider him a techbro tbh)
-
Me either.
When I think of techbros I think venture capital, no ethics, and will sell out anyone if the price is right.

Man I remember when MU went down. I was halfway through a rewatch of Gundam Wing - bad luck aside lol I couldn’t believe it was happening.
-
I was at a lan party having a break from the gaming and decided to browse a little bit, the news was blowing up about it.

Fireship said this guy only costed Hollywood like 500m in "potential revenue" over the course of Megaupload's existence which is pretty low compared to the accusations hurled at piratebay which is still active to this day.
The rumor is the FBI only went after him when he tried to setup Mega for music (essentially what Spotify does right now) with a guaranteed 90% profit split for artists. So not even because Mega was popular for pirated content, but because he was super close to imploding the poor (and I think only 3) multibillion dollar record labels.
We really need a product like that for film actually.
