NZ Prime Minister John Key has apologised to Dotcom and all New Zealanders for this, saying they were entitled to be protected by the law but it had failed them. Link is to writeup in The Guardian."

  1. As Evil as any other dotcom millonaire by aNonnyMouseCowered · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    No, Dotcom is as evil as any other dotcom millionaire. Getting rich from basically selling nothing has to be a scam. This goes for the guys running Facebook, Google, or even pre-dotcom Microsoft. None of them has been threatened with serious jail time or had their assets "frozen" or confiscated.
