NZ Broke the Law Spying On Kim Dotcom, PM Apologizes

Posted by timothy on from the no-hard-feelings-right? dept.

Mad Hamster writes "In the latest installment of the megaupload saga, an official study has determined that New Zealand's Government Communications and Security Bureau broke NZ law by spying on Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. 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." Lots of outlets are reporting this, based on TorrentFreak's report.

    And?

    And thus the parent's request for proof that he has a bad history has been answered. There is no "and".

    He has been living a decent life for a long time, he has settled down and became a real family man, and you are still going to justify shit done to him now because of things he has done 10+ years ago (and was held responsible for it and was punished)?

    Maybe he has. Maybe he just managed to not get caught. The law has a statute of limitations, I do not. Nowhere did the poster attempt to justify what was done, in fact if you actually bothered to READ the posts instead of posting a knee-jerk response you wouldn't be looking like a grade A idiot right now.
