US Judge Say Kim Dotcom May Never Be Tried or Extradited

vik writes "As Megaupload's Kim Dotcom's megafarce trial continues, the New Zealand Herald reports that his alleged offense not only falls below the threshold for extradition, but also that the warrant may not be properly served. 'My understanding as to why they haven't done that is because they can't. We don't believe Megaupload can be served in a criminal matter because it is not located within the jurisdiction of the United States,' says Megaupload's lawyer Ira Rothken. Not surprisingly, Kim Dotcom has a few choice words to say about having his business trashed this way, with 220 jobs lost, and millions left without access to their legitimate data."

Heroes of the fight against control of information on the www.
Legislators will use any excuse to put in place the mechanism of web censorship. Kiddie porn, terrorism, copyright theft; they are all excuses.
What they want is the power to censor negative comment about themselves...
