what do you mean 'look' Incompetent?

The only reason it 'looks' incompetent is because it IS incompetent....

Because NZ law enforcement isn't always incompetent. I didn't want to say "this shows our police force to BE incompetent". Because on a whole, they're not. I assume this was due to some desk dick who made a bad call, not the enforcement as a collective, which is why this makes them LOOK incompetent.

Extradition treaty and co operation can be very beneficial between countries in some cases but each case must be examined on its merits ,not just a lay down mazier as the authorities seemed to think this one was.

$2.50 per week on the lowest plan, rapes NZ speeds and no cap. Then you FTP what you need, no U/L. And since it happens offshore you essentially dodge the retarded piracy legislation. 95% of direct downloads make you feel like you're going to catch the computer clap.


saw this post a couple days ago and decided to have a look

its AWESOME, recommend to everyone !

Had a chat with an IT friend on Tuesday night.

He refuses to pay for any downloading service, not because he's some gypsy who wont pay for anything, but because the instant you use your credit card, your name is on their list as a paying customer.

With talks of going after those who used MU's services, it holds some weight.

EDIT: @ TDL. Yeah, you do that - seems to be your MO.

No, it didn't ever occur to me.

I guess I had a little bit of faith in my government that they would show some backbone when some offshore power-squad came knocking.

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.

John Banks has admitted calling Land Information Minister Maurice Williamson to lobby for internet tycoon Kim Dotcom, but says he didn't do anything wrong.

I am pretty sure that anything John Banks supports is bad.

He thinks everyone is as stupid as he is.



I wouldn't care if Dotcom is a married man, he's rich.

Anyone else starting to think that Kimdotcom is going to end up some sort of modern foke hero sticking it to the big bad USA, personally I hoping the NZ Justice system works in his case and tells the USA/DOJ to go take a flying leap.
