Kim Dotcom: You give me proof of govt corruption in my case, I give you millions

Here's an idea

if you are going to think up a way of allowing people to share copyrighted files, read some of the prior art (like Napster and Piratebay) and make sure you are dancing on the right side of the legal ambiguities. And if you stand up and go "nya nya nya", you make yourself a target.

No matter what the outcome is, this probably end up being a Hollywood film.

Both Sides Wrong

This is really a case where both sides are wrong and have behaved very poorly.

Did Dotcom know what was going on with his website.....yes. Did he try very hard to stop it.......probably not. So, Dotcom holds a certain responsibility.

Did the studios etc. take gross advantage, start running cartels (against the law) and generally rip everyone off......yes. Have they obviously broken the law and got away with it......yes, Sony for instance with their DRM installing software on your computer without permission.

So, both sides seem to have behaved badly and should be castigated for it.

The big difference is that Dotcom may have made some millions out of it over a relatively short period of time. However, the studios have been making tens of billions over several decades and taking the p**s out of the taxpayer at the same time by pretending their films (even big box office smashes) made losses!! Not that they're alone in the corporate world on that one.

So, who is the crook.....both. Who is the bigger crook....the studios. Who's likely to get prosecuted and sent to jail for it........Dotcom.

Doesn't quite seem fair somehow. Whenever some people or corporations can flout the law at will and not suffer the consequences, whilst others do, you know your justice system is broken and a broken justice system is respected by nobody.

Poor Lil' Kim

Yes Kimble, life is unfair. Tell you what, when you can demonstrate you've been fair in all your dealings, have not made money by helping people to nick stuff, and do not have a previous conviction for fraud, then I will back your $5m.

How the fuck this bleating, self-pitying hypocrite got NZ citizenship I don't know. I bet someone at the immigration department has had a strip torn off him over that one.

Desperate criminal

He'll do anything to try and stay out of prison but there is a cell with his name on it just waiting. He'll be a lot thinner when he emerges from prison than he is now.

You'd think if they had a real proper case they simply have charged him with out all the previous shenanigans and what not.

So let him do a few shenanigans as well. Couldn't hurt, and will likely be entertaining.

Big Mistake

Kim should have based himself in London/Silicon Roundabout, and got some ex-government ministers on the payroll as directors.

Trick or Treat? MegaMetaData Plays behind Closed Doors for SysAdmin to keep Secret for Themselves?

So you are trying to invent a second 'wrong' and give it moral equivalence to Kim Dotcom's wrong. Which means that paying people is bad, but not paying them is about the same - equally bad.

If you don't like Hollywood, you should support independent studios, independent publishers, independent labels, independent film-makers and so on - rather than ranting like a socially inadequate (and probably autistic) 13-year old idiot on the internet.

If something is too expensive then don't buy it, you asshole. Borrow one off a mate. Nobody makes you buy stuff. All round your argument is completely morally bankrupt. …. Dr Stephen Jones

Err, Hi, What’s up, Doc,

Media, as I’m sure even the educated fool knows, is used in films and television and newsprint and radio and registering world wide web pages internetworking with browsers to supply banks of servers fodder and FUD, to brainwash and provide dumb primitive animals and/or smarter virtual machines, ideally, a heavily and heavenly engineered universal perception of realities which be delivered with tools down on Earth. IT is that simple and creative and/or destructive and disruptive.

To think to charge for one’s own brainwashing to experience the disasters and politically incorrect shenanigans on Earth is a titanic morally bankrupt and criminal folly, which is designed to maintain a perverse and corrupt inequitable status quo hierarchy hell bent on the remote virtual retention of anonymous command and control and power with their direction and production of paper monies, and its confiscations and interest charging taxations. Such an experience should be for free and of one’s own choosing, is another more valid proposition and reality and such a service which provides such a choice is surely to be highly recommended and supported globally by any and all right thinking persons and the economically enslaved and systemically deprived?

Regarding the specific … Borrow one off a mate. Nobody makes you buy stuff. …. Is that not what Megaupload allowed one to do by steering one in the right direction to mates who wanted to share stuff that they had bought/had been bought and paid for?

Is it the System’s and the Fed’s and Hollywood’s intention that everyone pays forever and a day for the stuff they are printing and producing to brainwash and enslave them to their crazy world views and austere realities.

Methinks it be high noon time for better beta virtual realities and Greater IntelAIgent Game Players to burst that mad bubble with thousands of pricks …. for with CyberIntelAIgent Creative Command and Computer Control of Communications is a New Orderly World Order entirely possible and presently running and testing novel noble betas for replacement of past failures which be hindering future reprogramming.

Deny it if you will, but that is the present virtual reality in play here and sharing itself for free around worlds into Advanced and IntelAIgent Quantum Communications, where this might be that and also something else and quite different from even those possibilities thought of.

And whenever you know the command and control of what IT can do is freely being offered to that and/or those who you may have earlier perceived as being in control of your future well-being ….. and a short leading list of those would make an interesting global read …. what do you think should be their response. Gracious and Grateful Acceptance or MAD Refusal and Idiotic Sub-Prime Rejection?

There’s a lot going on out there, El Reg, and you have no small part to play to define everything you stand up and tall for, which be the SMARTR Root Route in such as be Sensationally Sensitive Cyber Matters. Playing a small part, however, has one always reduced to alternate opportunities with realities starring camp followers, and although highly valued, by no means able to be perceived as highly valuable.

Thoughts for the 0dDay …….. It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion. …… [Joseph Goebbels] ….. and to mentor and monitor ITs phormation of programs and projects for Global Operating Devices for Remote Command and Virtual Control of Manipulative Systems be a Quantum Leap for Man and Giant Step for Mankind in CyberIntelAIgent Fields of SMARTR Exploitation and Alien Exploration in Systems of Operation.

Hollywood is the most invisible instrument of power, that creates and modifies at will the image of the american dream to distill the mentality aspirations and essentially 'direct' the life of people. Some people might disagree with my grand disillusion with it , even though i do concede that they have the most impressive means and wonderful people/technologies. We can fairly say that it guides/orients the population yet reflects its situation. And since the world is becoming less and less original / commercialise/comoditised well so are movies nowadays. (give or take a handful of 'hollywood' successes this century, even with the most impressive strides in techniques).

If i put my UKIP hat on , i can safetly say it's under Zionist control and if they are not influencing it they are reaping the benefits at least. When I take it off I just realised it's all remakes /rehashes in a way or another and reaching absolute inanity in terms of added value at every iteration. So I say their biggest crime is not being good enough for the aspirations of the American people. More seriously though but perhaps in the same spirit, I think monopoly laws are constantly subverted and if previously declared theories are even remotely close to truth there would be massive breaches of conflict of interest laws. And I suspect loads of crime of silencing up people who speak up against their corruption etc... So look for bribery as well but perhaps less chance of finding traces of that one. :p
