New Zealand Ordered To Reveal Spy Network Secrets in Megaupload Case
It's truly amazing that a copyright case led to this ...
It's truly amazing that a copyright case led to this ...
Big frigging repercussions from a bungled copyright case
Did we mention that this was a friggin' copyright case
The long-running MegaUpload saga has become known for the Keystone-Kops shenanigans of New Zealand authorities.
We did have forbidden files, says Kim Dotcom, but only because the American government asked us to keep them
Some of those deals really are too good to believe
The MegaUpload head asked the court for some of his money back so he can, you know, live between now and then
He was afraid a screw-up would upset his American handlers
The content industry appears to be in the driver's seat
The entertainment industry can do its own work, thank you
Subject to the recording industry's concept of appropriate use, of course
First you try it, then you buy more. Is that a shocker?
The Authors Guild dubiously claims to represent all authors
Afraid that there might be infringing material in the mix
All this over a friggin' copyright case
Can you sell your old DVDs and textboooks?
The feds have been awfully cagey about this case
The native New Zealander believes he was illegally spied upon and knows he was held at gunpoint
The government wants to force the search engine to pay for click-throughs
Similar measures were defeated by the European Parliament
Just because a company has no presence in the U.S. is no reason to not prosecute
And they'll interfere with your connection if you're naughty
It doesn't make sense under law and couldn't have happened that way
Fewer pointless takedowns, we can hope?
The coverup, once again, is worse than the crime
A bit strict for copyright violations, I think
Penalty calculated as percent of global, not European, revenue
This is still just a copyright case, folks
