I was going to add this to an existing thread, but it has been locked. I think it is newsworthy to mention that Dotcom is now living it up in Queenstown. It is hard not to admire his durability.

They haven't had much luck with that so far. I imagine he will be applying for his NZ pension one day, just to rub it in.

I truly don't understand the hate for this man. I'd dare say he's contributed more to the NZ economy than you have?

Is it worth mentioning again that if NZ authorities had followed correct procedures instead of acting like dickheads by trying to impress the Americans Dotcom would be long gone by now?

OK. It was late and I wasn't sure how long that would take. I will do it that way next time.

If they had just gone after him on fraud charges he would be long gone.

Nor do I.

I do not wish to be a member of a community that tolerates or participates in throwing [thinly veiled] insults at people; especially people who aren't present to defend themselves.

@freitasm

In reference to the FUG: what constitutes "abuse"?

What I've seen here so far is opinion. When people start abusing you will know - they're banned, most of the times without warning. Name calling, defamation, etc are examples.

... and gotta love that he's been sticking it to the equally odious, equally greedy, equally disgusting, equally hedonistic, equally wasteful members of RIAA & MPAA.

I'd rather a community that called a spade a spade than one that was full of kim dot coms.

Crime, crime, more crime...

Next you'll tell me Trump is an awesome person.
