FBI Must Return Kim Dotcom’s Illegally Seized Property
Authored by: Gringo_ on Friday, May 31 2013 @ 09:23 AM EDT

In addition the Judge notes that the warrants did not permit the police to ship the 150 terabytes of data to the FBI.

Could the NZ government, or Dotcom himself, now ask the US government for those hard drives back? Whether the US complied with such a request or not, the legality of NZ seizure should be ammunition for Dotcom's defence team.

I Orders

[65] I therefore make orders in the following terms:

[...]

(c) In respect of items which have already been cloned:
(i) An order that those clones created by the FBI and currently held by the Police (the existing clones) will be provided to the plaintiffs upon receipt of encryption passwords
Are they being ordered to provide encryption passwords that the police don't currently have to get their data back?

Across 10,000km of ocean I don't see much chance of that happening.
Worse, I fear that should the Feds produce any of this material in a
US court, said court is not likely to feel constrained by the NZ order.
