Those are the words of a man who either:
1. has never used the Internet;
2. has never met a human being; or
3. has a strong incentive to disbelieve reality.

The word here is “civil”, and only considering it’s options?
I am no great supporter of Kim Dotcom, and I have never used any of the services he offered, but I watched with considerable interest the unfolding events that culminated in the raid on his home, however I am outraged at what I see as an international abuse of civil rights.

The American government and it’s cronies launched a full scale military attack on a private citizen at the behest of an american corporate organisation?

That in itself is worrying.

What is more concerning is that now, 2 years on , after completely nuking what is increasingly becoming apparent was a legitimate business no criminal charges are being put forward and the latest offering is that there may be “civil” charges.
Wow.. despite the fact that hard drives were illegally exported to the US and the American government has been steadfast in it’s refusal

to return users their own personal legitimate data, the only charges that may arise will be civil?

So not one, but two governments took part in what was a full on SWAT attack on a private citizen. Two National governments were prepared to do this because basically a trade association told them to, because, hell lets get our government puppets to do it, it’s cheaper

Benjamin Butler would be even better.
