This Not A Lawyer observes that the courts of the USA are not bound
by the laws of other countries, except to the extent there may be
strict overlap. I also observe that what overlap there may be is
usually not sufficiently precise or rigorous enough to bind a court.
There's also an old saw "possession is nine tenths of the law"
where possession may be of hard disks or an arrested person.
The CIA's behaviour is a highly visible wedge. I expect the
extradition proceedings to carry on at full speed, and Dotcom's
legal team still have a lot of work to do on the brakes and anchors.
Megaupload is destroyed, it cannot be made whole. The question is
can the innocent users who may have lost data and/or reputation
be made whole? Mr Dotcom seems to be quite capable of making
himself whole.

All of Dot Com's personal HDD seized by the Feds in NZed and illegally removed
to the USA were encrypted.
Presumably this NZed rulling now means that Dot Com will not be forced by the NZ
legal system to disclose his decryption keys and presumably his HDD must now be
returned.
Obviously the Feds can image the encrypted drives but they will have a hard time
viewing the data. Added is that the drives were illegally seized and potentially
any evidence discovered on them is inadmissible.
Meanwhile the legal challenge continues in the USA and the Feds case is looking
a little shaky.
Well, this sounds correct using my Hollywood movie based US legal knowledge. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
