Kim Dotcom’s Extradition Hearing Delayed Until 2013

Kim Dotcom’s extradition hearing has been delayed until 2013. The Megaupload founder and his alleged co-conspirators were due to appear in court on August 6 in a hearing scheduled to last 3 weeks, but legal issues including questions over evidence disclosure have put the event back until March next year. Dotcom has slammed the delay as “dirty delay tactics by the US.”

Kim Dotcom, the founder of Megaupload, the now-defunct site at the center of what is believed to be the largest copyright infringement case in United States history, will have to wait until next year for his extradition hearing.

The hearing, which would see Dotcom and alleged co-conspirators Mathias Ortmann, Finn Batato and Bram van der Kolk protest their extradition to the United States, was originally scheduled to take place next month in Auckland.

Following agreement between Dotcom’s lawyer Paul Davison QC and the prosecution, it has now been rescheduled for July 2013.

“It was inevitable that the hearing for August was going to be vacated because we have two existing cases in the High Court,” William Akel, one of Dotcom’s lawyers, told Reuters.

Dotcom, however, took to Twitter to voice his complaints.

“Dirty delay tactics by the US. They destroyed my business. Took all my assets. Time does the rest,” he wrote.

“The NZ government is refusing an NZ resident due process and a fair defense. Shame on you [Prime Minister of New Zealand] John Key for allowing this to happen. Shame on you.”

In recent weeks, legal arguments on a number of issues have further complicated the already controversial case, including an appeal of a court ruling last month that found the warrants used by New Zealand police to raid Dotcom’s Coatesville mansion in January were invalid, rendering the searches illegal.

Earlier, a judge criticized the shipping to the U.S. of hard drive copies taken from Dotcom’s computers by the FBI, describing the act as “unlawful”.

Last week, local prosecutors acting on behalf of the U.S. government argued in the High Court against an earlier District Court ruling that said Dotcom and the rest of the so-called “Mega Conspiracy” should be allowed access to the evidence set to be used against them in the extradition hearing.

Prosecutors said there was no need for Dotcom, Mathias Ortmann, Finn Batato and Bram van der Kolk to see the evidence because they are not being tried in New Zealand. Their lawyers disagree, stating that it is crucial the information is examined in order for their clients to mount a fair defense.

The same “dirty delay tactics” that the persons behind The Pirate Bay used to delay the Swedish legal system from the razzia in april 2006 until final decision in february 2012 when Sweden’s Supreme Court did not leave grant to appeal?
- British Citizen
  
  …It also depends on the public’s view of such actions… In TPB’s case, everyone wants them to go free, and so the ‘public law’ (let’s call it that, just for shits and giggles. It’s been a long time since the law represented the public) states that TPB aren’t evil, hateful, and that they’ve done nothing wrong. (Which they haven’t. Torrents magnets aren’t copyrighted files.)
  
  …In this case, everyone seems to be behind Kim except the US, so the Public Law states that Kimmy is in the right… and the NZ law is actually backing that up.
  
  Of course, it’s all a matter of perspective. Everyone here, myself included, finds the constant abuse and misuse of ancient twisted copyright laws to maintain the very thing they were developed to stop revolting to their very core… So naturally they’re going to decry any action taken by groups seeking to maintain that corrupt status quo.
  
  That: And this could be the US getting a giant middle finger from another country. How fun would that be?
- nom
  
  The pirate bay trial had nothing to do with shutting the site down and pretty much all the delays can be blamed on the swedish authorities. Charges were not filed untill 2008 because they decided to investigate for 2 years and then it took them another year to collect statements from those who might want damages. And then ontop of that it was delayed another year because the judge(s?) had a stake in or were otehrwise involved with spotify… who were claiming damages.
  
  And yes, those are dirty delay tactics.
  - http://nejtillpirater.wordpress.com/ Nejtillpirater
    
    “The pirate bay trial had nothing to do with shutting the site down”
    
    I’d say that this was in fact the major purpose. And of course to show others that the legal system really works, you have to face the consequences if you maintain pirate sites.
    
    Regarding the damages, even though the fines/damages were high, they were only a small fraction of the complete losses for the infringed copyright owners during all years.
    - nom
      
      If they were trying to shut it down maybe go after whoever is running the site? Also convicting people for something a majority of the population beleives should be legal(ie linking on the internet) is only showing how broken the legal system is.
      
      And the damages does not come from copyright being infringed, it comes from legacy players refusing to allow any convenient online media distribution service. And that is costing them millions upon millions each day.
    - Fredrika
      
      > “I’d say that this was in fact the major purpose.”
      
      Then by your own logic, the Pirate Bay trial was a huge fiasco, because the site is still up six years later and it’s still considered fully legal.
      
      > “And of course to show others that the legal system really works..”
      
      Since what you consider to be the major purpose hasn’t been achieved, the legal system according to your own logic doesn’t work.

      Yes, you’re right on the first part – the site is still up six years later – a huge fiasco – but it’s only a matter of time before the final shut-down. And no, it’s not considered fully legal but the continued managing of the site still has to be proved in a court and I’m extremely convinced that the persons responsible will be convicted (very likely the same persons as before). I was right before and I’m probably right this time. Your track record is not very impressive regarding these matters, dead wrong each time.

      The losses suffered by the infringed copyright owners during all those years were completely made up by the MAFIAA’s lawyers. You forgot to mention that part.
      
      They pulled a number out of their asses with zero proof to back it up, but the judges treated it as the incontrovertible truth because the trial was a rigged political show where the prosecution oh so generously wasn’t required to prove their allegations.

      ”
      Regarding the damages, even though the fines/damages were high, they were only a small fraction of the complete losses for the infringed copyright owners during all years.”
      
      As per usual you are incorrect/lying through your teeth. For the last ten years or so every scientific study attempting to categorize and quantify the so-called “lost sale” has come to the conclusion that if there is any such loss it is in fact too small for even a serious government-funded study to find.
      
      Hence there are no losses for the copyright owners what so ever, according to either science or market theory.
      
      Indeed, any claims regarding such losses has all the relevance of a claim that thinking about a pink hippopotamus will ward off vampires. There is simply no connection at all to causal reality.
      
      Of course, that’s simply par for the course where you are concerned.
    - Fredrika
      
      > “..but it’s only a matter of time before the final shut-down.”
      
      You have claimed this for three years now, yet nothing seems to happen..
      
      > “And no, it’s not considered fully legal..”
      
      It most certainly is, and for your consideration i’ll explain it once more. What things or actions that are generally considered illegal according to the judicial system is decided by precedent sentences, which there exists none in this matter. Until a precedent sentence exists, the judicial system considers every possible action to be legal.
      
      The Pirate Bay sentences are not precedent, and they do not under any circumstances decide what’s generally illegal. They only show that certain specific actions where deemed illegal when committed by certain specific and tried individuals, under those, and only those particular circumstances. Those sentences does in no way say that certain acts are generally illegal performed during all different kind of circumstances by all individuals.
      
      That’s how the judicial system actually works. An indisputable fact that you can verify with any court official.
      
      > “..but the continued managing of the site still has to be proved in a court..”
      
      And until a court decision has been handed down nothing relevant is considered illegal.
      
      > “..and I’m extremely convinced that the persons responsible will be convicted (very likely the same persons as before).”
      
      Which is completely irrelevant.
      
      > “Your track record is not very impressive regarding these matters, dead wrong each time.”
      
      If you can, please quote one single statement from me that you believe to be incorrect, and i will help you read it properly so that you understand what it actually says, where after you hopefully will understand that it indeed was and is fully correct exactly as it was written.

      Replicating a binary string cost copyright owners money? How so? Anyone intelligent enough to use a bit torrent client (or know someone who will show them) isn’t likely to go out an buy all this media anyway. The so called damages are an inflated number arbitrarily based on the amount of bits people have replicated. Do these copyright owners lose money when somebody records TV broadcasts on VHS? Do they lose money when someone rents a movie and makes a copy of it? No. You might as well ban computers if you don’t want people replicating binary strings.

  Delay tactics are dirty when they’re used by authorities to try postponing the inevitable defeat of their fraudulent charges.
  
  Delay tactics aren’t dirty they’re used to protect an innocent party from fraudulent charges being leveled against them by corrupt authorities.

    I think that the court should decide on what’s fraudulent. You’re confirming what I stated above, in practice saying that all laws should be bent to fit the needs of the pirates. Justice is of no importance to pirates – unless it frees the pirates from the charges.
    - Guest
      
      The NZ court and us pirates are both in perfect agreement on what was fraudulent about the Megaupload raid. E.g., pretty much all of it.
      
      I never said all laws should be bent to fit the needs of pirates. I only said that delay tactics are unacceptable when used to assault the innocent, and acceptable when used to protect the innocent.
      
      You’re making shit up and stuffing words in to my mouth. I don’t appreciate that. It hardly surprises me, though, considering you’re a copyright industry troll. Since the facts are not on your side, you are forced to play dirty.
      
      That almost makes me feel vaguely sorry for you. Almost.

  A delay is apparently dirty when it prevents continued operation of a pirate site, but clean when it prevents shutting it down.”

The wheels of justice do indeed grind – not only slowly, but they can grind us down too.

Whether or not this delay is deliberate by the USA in order to annoy Kim D, the fact remains that Kim’s own legal team AGREED to the delay because they deemed it necessary under ALL relevant circumstances – and I agree with their actions to delay. After all, it’s vitally important to see the evidence held by the prosecution in order to properly prepare a defence.

That said, I certainly understand Kim’s impatience at the USA’s lack of full cooperation. That alone is unfair and deliberate, so a boycott of American goods & services would only be a fair response. The trick is to let the US businesses know why you refuse to be their customer, so they in turn can inform put pressure on the US government.

Have patience Kim, I doubt if this will be the only delay or dirty trick you’ll experience.

In 2005 I was fingerprinted and treated like a criminal just to enter the country, I’m not even middle eastern looking, needless to say I have not been back since. On seeing that having a .com or .net domain name can mean you then fall under US law I cancelled about 8 .com and .net domain names I have used for the past 15 or so years. I’m also finding now that one of the things I check when making a purchase is the links item has to America if so I then search for an alternative.

List the business and address, the item or service you were going to purchase (including dollar value), and list the alternative you chose to go with. Would that make the US government take notice?

just another delaying tactic by the US. the entertainment industries are going to do whatever it takes to get the data on the Mega servers destroyed. this will obviously hurt private individuals as well as Mega and Dotcom as there will be no evidence that can be used in defense of any charges brought. the most important thing is that the longer they can keep the site shut down, the more money is lost by Dotcom and the less chance of resurrecting the site there is. that basically means the entertainment industries will achieve exactly what they wanted, with the help of illegal practices by US law enforcement, ie the closure of a site they didn’t like and couldn’t compete with. greed, jealousy and bribery being the order of things here! disgraceful conduct and attitude of the US!

show everyone you know how to use bittorent to share music and movies with friends online, explain how the industry is preventing artists from getting there fair cut of the profits and how they are using there power to prevent all of us from making money from content we produce, by locking down the radio stations to only play music they demand they play.

lets get everyone sharing online and nobody buying there products, they can make money from live shows and the cinema like they have for many many years before there greed removed the right for us to share in any way shape or form.

Encourage others to download free by talking about the latest content you have watched, let everyone who does not torrent files feel like they are the outsiders and the ones that need to change, lets change the conversation once and for all, and when they use this against us to stop us, there will be millions more average, normal people that will be affected by there nonsensical illegal and barbaric actions.

New banners to go up everywhere, sharing is caring, Share until they change and support the content providers and pay them a fair wage, it is legal no matter what they say, grow the torrent world so much that they have a reason to complain then grow it more and more, we are already past the tipping point where they cannot stop us, we have enough torrent sites to provide us with everything we desire when it comes to content, when one goes down multiple others grow, with better features and really nice communities.

All we need to do now is get every single person on the planet to use it so that the “industry” is forced to accept the new business model that has been created, namely that it is not illegal to download content for personal use.

Personally I dont think Kim Dotcom has broken any laws what-so-ever, Extradition of Kim should never take place, nor should it even be discussed in any courts.

If the US auth’s want
someone to blame, Go after the UPLOADERS of those files, NOT the
file-hosting company/owner.

Blaming the owner of a company for the fault of its userbase is stupid, pathetic and totally wrong.

For the reasons stated above, I think Kim should now SUE the US authorities…

1) for Destroying his Legitimate file-upload website.

2) for defamation of character (potentially saying HE is prosecutable for the actions of a few of his USERS) which is totally stupid anyway!!

3) Depression and associated conditions which Kim maybe going through

4) Unauthorized Theft of his servers / property

5) Unauthorized copying of his hard discs.

6) Unauthorized Entry to his Residential Address

The list could go on, and I hope KIM reads this, because truthfully, the US govt took the easy way out, going after the wrong person.

If I was a court judge, I’d of thrown this out before it got this far, Under no circumstances can I see anywhere where KIM is guilty of any crime.

The US auth’s are just using KIM because he’s an Easy Target – Nothing more, Nothing less – and they should be ashamed of themselves !!
- Guest
  
  I agree but it is far easy for the US authorities to shut down and sue the company as it will be less expensive and less time to do so then it would if they were to go through all the records searching for each individual person who has committed infringement and sue them individually. I know it is wrong to go after the company as the company is exempt due to the DMCA rules and cannot be held responsible for what the uploaders upload but the US authorities break rules and laws just to make it easy for them to get a result.

    Yes i agree that the evidence obtained in an ILLEGAL raid should not and can’t be used as evidence but I very much doubt that the US would care whether it was obtained illegally or not. To be honest I think that the whole extradition case should now be completely dismissed and thrown out based on the illegallity of the raids and search warrants and the evidence obtained from such etc. AND if the US still want to go ahead with extradition then they should present the evidence entirely in full of what it has legally obtained in America or terminate forthwith the extradition. How can a person be truly extradited to America or somewhere else when they are not allowed or able to see the evidence against them.
