New Zealand judge rules Kim Dotcom eligible for extradition to U.S.
December 23

HONG KONG

A judge in New Zealand has ruled that Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom can
be sent back to the U.S. where he faces criminal charges.

Dotcom and three of his former business associates -- Mathias Ortmann, Finn
Batato and Bram van der Kolk -- are eligible for extradition under
Wednesday's decision.

Dotcom, the millionaire founder of Megaupload -- a file-sharing site that
became one of the Internet's largest bastions of pirated content -- is
wanted in the U.S. for reproducing and distributing copyrighted content
from movies to e-books on a massive scale.

The New Zealand decision on Wednesday moves Dotcom's long-pending case
forward. For some time, it was unclear whether Dotcom's alleged crimes
would make him eligible for extradition

New Zealand's treaty with the U.S. The extradition decision also faced
several delays.

Megaupload was shut down in January 2012 by U.S. federal agents, after
Dotcom and other former co-workers were arrested by New Zealand police
acting in conjunction with U.S. authorities. The group was indicted with
several crimes.

Dotcom, born 1974 as Kim Schmitz in Germany, has long said

was simply a file-sharing website, and that he shouldn't be taken to blame
for what others were uploading.

He first attracted the attention of authorities in his early 20s when he
was convicted of a number of offenses, including computer fraud.

Dotcom's lawyer, Ira Rothken, tweeted after the decision that the "team
looks forward to having the U.S. request for extradition reviewed in the
High Court. We have no other comments at this time."

Dotcom also took to Twitter after the decision to thank his supporters.

Thank you for your support. The fight goes on. Enjoy the holidays. I'm
happy to be with my kids. There are bigger things than copyright :-)
