Dotcom cleared to sue Govt
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, December 05 2012 @ 09:22 PM EST
This is serious! The order allows uncovering of both 'Echelon' and 'Five eyes'
programs ... MPAA (& friends) skewer the NSA (and US national security).
Worth it? I don't think so.

Wow. I don't know enough about the case, being
focused elsewhere, but I have to say, he is
getting phenomenal legal representation.

What I get from this: It's unfortunate that Judge Helen Winkelmann is going to
have to experience a personal scandal and step down. But she was in the way.

wait a minute... NSA is working for the MPAA? Does it get any weirder than this?

This is so very strange and alienating...

Echelon is the NSA.

Now this incredibly expensive government resource is being
used to pursue copyright violations???

Copyright violations are not even a criminal offense(...)
this is a civilian dispute based on DMCA regulations. Whats
more: Kim Dotcom is a civilian and private person, he is a
computer programmer, with a wife and a kid. Good for him
that he has gotten some top flight lawyers representing him,
and imo he should have done that years ago.

It looks to me like there is a huge scandal building
here...and I am afraid this one goes all the way to the top,
just as Dotcom has been saying...

Wasen't Watergate supposed to be in the 70's?

Police evidence in Dotcom case 'inconsistent'.
