No, not that one. Everyone else is writing about that today. I’m talking about the SWAT-style raid on Kim Dotcom’s residence, where US and New Zealand federal authorities seized data and evidence to be used in the US-based copyright infringement criminal prosecution against Megaupload. In what might be a minor setback for the DOJ, the New Zealand courts ruled yesterday that the whole search was unlawful, that none of the evidence should have been transferred out of the country, and that US DOJ must return all hard drives and copies of data to New Zealand to be destroyed.
Gonna be pretty hard to put on a case if they don’t have any evidence.
A classic example of government overreach |
