We need more Dotcoms, unlike some new immigrants bludging in  state houses on  benefits. Spending $4mil on renovating a house you don't own must make him the best tenant in NZ. I bet he spends a fortune here. Good luck to him.

The media are quick to forget that this fella was totally upfront about his history with the Department of Immigration when he applied for residency (He had to pay a $10m bond). On top of that he made a $10m donation to the people of Christchurch and also put half a million dollar injection into the RWC.

The good ol' media eh? - bunch of weasel munching maggots!

What we should be worried about is the yanks can click their fingers then put you on trial in the US...
Lately these yanks remind me of nazi Germany

Not even close to being similar in anyway. Kim Dotcom is a NZ resident I'm not even sure that Kim's even been to the States.. So you wouldn't have an issue if some kiwi teenager who's never left our shores could be extradited to the US for building a website that breached copyright laws? BS

The funny thing is this guy will probably get life for hosting other people's links which YouTube,Facebook & google do many more times over yet the murderer you speak of will be out in 15. This whole case is a farce.

What puzzles me is that all he did was "host" and other users posted links was he to go through all of them to see what was legal or not? i don't think so...whole case is BS

I was thinking along similar lines Barrie and that maybe we have just repaid the Yanks for returning the kung fu kid to us in return for a rather larger fish that we will no doubt send back to them.
 
 If it smells like  tiko then it probably is....

Nonsense NZ has an extradition treaty with the states so the "murderer" who killed "in NZ" was clearly extradited back to where the crime took place.
Dotcoms (so called) crime was cyber. You can't compare apples to nectarines as a few of you are.
The yanks think they can run the net & have gone after an easy hi rolling target. Coinsedence that this guy was arrested a day after SOPA was rejected?
