Didn't realize the founder Kim Dotcom, formerly known as Kim Schmitz was actually living here in NZ and was the one who purchased the old Crisco mansion(largest house in nz).

Site was shutdown earlier today and his house was raided by police seizing evidence. Kim Dotcom reportedly made $52million in 2010 from his file sharing sites alone.

Surprised nothing was posted about this already.

*Edit Title was meant to say shutdown, must of been a typo.

He tried to buy the chrisco mansion but was declined by the OIA guys, so was only leasing it.

List of shit (see page 69)

Its like the Nz media are revelling in the fact that the FBI are involved.
Fuck off FBI.
I'll be interested on the Nz laws that were broken to allow the raid on private property.

The articles I've read have all be geared towards "CONGRATULATIONS NZ ON BEING AT THE FOREFRONT OF ENDING PIRACY".

Its pretty funny though. Sections of the US govt "take down" megaupload, so a section of the internet community turns around to take down the US govt sites.

Meanwhile twitter is exploding with #megaupload

And they are getting clever about doing it http://gawker.com/5877707/

How is this guy Kim a hero?

I've seen his house and yacht, so he's obviously no Robin Hood.

He's giving piracy a bad name imo.

This, so does multiple other sites such as RS,FS,FSC,2S,4S,MF etc. Rapidshare used to host more files until they changed their pricing.
