US Ordered To Hand Over Megaupload Documents
An anonymous reader writes "A judge in New Zealand has ordered the U.S. government to hand over evidence seized in the Megaupload raid so Kim Dotcom and his co-defendants can use it to prepare a defense for an extradition hearing. The judge wrote, 'Actions by and on behalf of the requesting State have deprived Mr. Dotcom and his associates of access to records and information. ... United States is attempting to utilize concepts from the civil copyright context as a basis for the application of criminal copyright liability [which] necessitates a consideration of principles such as the dual use of technology and what they be described as significant non-infringing uses.' Once the defense attorneys have gathered and presented their evidence, the judge must decide whether the U.S. can make a reasonable case against Dotcom."
Yes, we need your resources to save our asses from the problems you created first. Capitalism and Freedom, the American way, is NOT what humanity needed, but it is what you exported during numerous wars all over the world these last 2 centuries. Your only goal is to "buy" new customers, you convert them to your culture either by war or by advertisements, then you don't understand why they can't continue to pay ? Hell, you're doing everything to be the only one to sell stuffs on the "converted world". And I participate in this... An ungrateful bastard.
NZ are guilty of bending over and saying "please sir, some more please" to the RIAA/USA megalomaniacs. Spineless sheep (go figure: 4 million people and 16 million sheep).
