Megaupload Wins Crucial Evidence Disclosure Battle With US Govt.
Found on TorrentFreak on Wednesday, 30 May 2012
A New Zealand court has ruled that the U.S. Government must hand over the evidence they have against Megaupload so Kim Dotcom and other employees can properly defend themselves against the pending extradition request.
The U.S. Government objected to the request arguing that Megaupload doesn’t have the right to disclosure in the extradition process, but Judge Harvey disagreed.
The comments made by Judge Harvey also suggest that without proper evidence of criminal copyright infringements against the accused, there’s not much left of the case.
Nice to see that Judge Harvey isn't just rolling over under pressure from the US. If their evidences are so great, the US can prosecute Dotcom in New Zealand just like they could in the US; and with Dotcom not even living in the US, there's even less reason to send him there.
