I do not think we "need" Dotcom - except he has based himself here and has earned a lot of money - coming into the NZ economy from overseas ...

He's only one fat German playing on his NZ citizenship,the good will would be worth it and we could watch the hangin' on CNN.
Naa .... we should not give into the bullying overbearing tactics of 'Merika ...

Uncle Sam will not give a rats arse.
Bloody PoPo/GCSB sucking up to Yanks and conducting a raid like a 3rd rate Rambo movie.
Yes - exactly ...

He should count for four people ... he's increased his size quite a bit ...

I do not agree with the FeddyBI doing what they have, serving some wanker's will and letting our Govt (whom are fabulous at bending over and taking cock, some dominance issue?) run around making fools of themselves.
Then there's the blindly obvious part where this is all set up to be a big fat media frenzy, why not shut down Google? Or any other bunch who deal in illegal file sharing en masse.
Short version, fuck them all.
Yes .. all of that - but especially standing up to 'Merika - they can't come and enforce their laws here .. that has no validity - either in international law or in morality ...
IF Dotcom has broken the law - then try him here ... this is where he did what ever he was supposed to have done - IF he really has breached copyright etc etc then he has broken NZ law ... and he should be tried here ...
'Merika can not accuse peope living in this country of breaking 'Merikan law - and expect to have us ship people to 'Merika to be charged there ... otherwise we are all open to those sorts of actions ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
