Kim Dotcom has lost the first round of his battle to avoid extradition from New Zealand to the USA to face charges of internet piracy, and the chance for "decades in jail". Two opinion pieces with contrary views have been published in the NZ herald in the last few days. The herald website has countless articles on this four year saga to peruse.

It may be that these sort of practices are technically legal but it is in the interests of content providers and users that we find out. We cannot find out until Dotcom goes to the US and faces trial. He should go now.

But I have my suspicions. Now the courts say we can send the German to the US to face charges over acts that better-established corporates are performing with impunity.
The irony is that if Dotcom, whom the authorities worked very hard to allow in here in the first place, had the foresight to be born in Saudi Arabia rather than Germany, we would have taken a firm stand on a matter of principle, withstood any outside pressure and defended to our last breaths his inviolable right to bring his fortune here.

I would be interested in thoughts here unravelling the various issues.
