He is a pretty shitty person, but no one deserves to rot in prison for up to 150 years for fucking copyright infringement 15 years ago, regardless of scale.
Can he just say he did it all to train ai?
This isn’t about justice, this is about billionaires paying enough to make an example out of him.
MEGAUpload cooperated with law enforcement when they asked. The charges were trumped up by the record labels. And it’s likely they were less afraid of the piracy and more afraid of the new free music launch featuring a bunch of migrating artists.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Paul Goldsmith the Minister concluded that it would not “shock the conscience” of properly informed New Zealanders given the scale of the alleged offending.
Wow what a desensitized cunt
Damn. The MegaUpload “ringleader” is getting extradited from NZ to the US to serve a 30+ year sentence. Or at least stand trial for it there?
That guy was probably 20 at least when it started, it seems like it’s been 20 years. He’ll probably doesn’t have 30 years to live.
A 40 or even 50 year old having to live the rest of their life behind bars sounds pretty crappy
He could always pay Trump a couple mil to get pardoned
He had that kind of money before they seized it. I believe he had to get rid of the mansion which he once had.
What year is this?
Again?
They’ve been at it since like 2012. He’s been fighting it that long to not be extradited, and then if he gets to the United States that’s another decade of court cases to see. NZ needs to stop being a puppet, and just say they won’t extradite him and move on.
