The penultimate round in the legal dispute around the extradition of the US had gone to the Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. A New Zealand court had allowed Dotcom’s attorneys to require detailed file surveillance in the FBI files against Dotcom in order to prepare for the negotiations. This is not the case with the US.
Instead, the FBI had filed an appeal, which has now been granted by a court of appeal. This is the current round in the litigation to the US, and Dotcom’s delivery is again a little more likely. But this should not be the last word in this matter, as Dotcom’s lawyers are already considering calling the Supreme Court of New Zealand.
Dotcom aka Kim Schmitz is accused of having violated massively copyrights with the Internet portal Megaupload. The US figures the damage to half a billion dollars. US authorities had taken Megaupoad off the web in early 2012. Dotcom has now opened a new portal called "MEGA", which seeks to escape the copyright problem through encryption. However, the new portal will still have to deal with numerous technical problems.
