German Courts Refuse to Bow to US Pressure in MegaUpload Case
Found on Huffington Post on Wednesday, 14 November 2012
A German court in Frankfurt has ruled that a request for mutual legal assistance from the United States regarding stripping assets belonging to Kim Dotcom, has no basis for legal action in Germany.
As a part of the criminal investigation against the file-sharing service Megaupload, certain assets were supposed to be removed. This request was issued by the American FBI when they called for legal assistance from the German authorities.
It's good to see that not everybody (like Gabon) bows to the pressure coming from the US and the entertainment industry.
