Deep dives

Extradition of Kim Dotcom

New Zealand's Justice Minister has signed an extradition order for Kim Dotcom, founder of the now-defunct file-sharing service MegaUpload, following a lengthy 12-year legal battle. Dotcom faces multiple charges in the United States, including copyright infringement, racketeering, and money laundering, with authorities estimating that his operation caused over $500 million in damages. The dramatic 2012 FBI raid on his Auckland mansion marked the beginning of a high-profile copyright case in internet history, raising significant questions about accountability for copyright infringement across international borders. This decision sets a legal precedent, emphasizing that individuals can be prosecuted for crimes committed online, even from jurisdictions with differing laws, although Dotcom plans to resist the order and remain in New Zealand.
