postheadericon Kim Dotcom: the internet cult hero spoiling for a fight with US authorities

German-born former hacker said his eyes were opened to the tactics the United States after his site Megaupload was shut down last year

If boastful massive "Mega" extends over the grassy slope in front of Dotcom Mansion. A coterie of electricians and carpenters to remove cables and wooden models in fluorescent tubes. They are G. Around the huge park luxury home Kim Dotcom, just north of Auckland, New Zealand, gardeners and technicians are busy, as Oompa-Loompa in chocolate, preparation for the big night, dominated by inflatable life-size giraffes and hippos.

Sunday, nearly a year after the internet entrepreneur and several of his colleagues were arrested in a dawn raid on the mansion spectacular, nearly 200 guests gather to inheritance Mega to launch opulent. New cyberlocker service is a simplified version, the successor of super-encryption Megaupload, the file sharing site once supposedly represented 4% of all Internet traffic, and that U.S. prosecutors had taken time off-line before the helicopter down in New Zealand a year ago.

After nearly a month in jail on bail in early 2012, and charged with Dotcom were presented - the first of a series of legal victories that have left the accusation seems increasingly unstable. With an extradition hearing to the United States to face criminal charges of copyright have been rejected, it is difficult not to see the extravagant presentation of the new site, as a gesture of two fingers pointing to the authorities U.S..

"I do not think so," said Dotcom, seated at the head table 20 meters long and the back of the house, flanked by two of his lawyers and his co- Finnish colleague accused batao - all glued to iPad and laptops.

I do not let cool. "

series of setbacks for the prosecution has led to speculation that the extradition hearing itself can never be heard - a scenario that Dotcom, who turns 39 weeks next stated regret. "We want to expose what happened here. We have a lot of information that shows political interference. Believe that what happened here was made to destroy Megaupload, and we want to prove. "

The case against Dotcom and its allies based on evidence that they benefited, knowingly and intentionally, from the illegal distribution of material protected by copyright - indeed, that exchange pirated Megaupload was part of the business model. "This is bullshit. Excuse my language, but that's bullshit," said Dotcom.

"Megaupload was originally created as a service that allows you to send large files due to limitations attachments ... and this is still the case today. 'Popularity and S initial growth was all. This was never created with the intention of being a refuge against piracy. U.S. If the government says we are a mega-conspiracy, a mafia that has created this kind of thing be a criminal hackers are quite wrong ... for them was about to turn it off and deal with it later on the fly. "re piracy legal system."

During what he calls his "youth" and stupid years in Germany was convicted of piracy, and later took a plea and a sentence of probation on charges of insider trading, but he says that he was "really register a company and over 120 jobs. "The sentence was later removed from his record under the German Act clean slate.

"They had a political agenda, in addition to the next election, and they needed an alternative to the soup," said Dotcom, referring to the law against online piracy Stop sinister and draconian.

"would probably have been very dark for [Obama] to go to Hollywood and ask him to help him get re-elected when he could not get their soup. Megaupload thus become a Plan B".



Meanwhile, Dotcom said, an aggressive approach and dated Hollywood blinders them the opportunity to build a new business model around the internet. "There is so much money to be made, and these idiots do not understand. Simply do not understand. "
