Kim Dotcom Now "A Person of Legal Worth"

After serving Obama with a subpoena on his recent New Zealand visit (for which my sources tell me the former Prez was paid $200,000, much less than Bill Clinton's million dollar fee), Internet superhero Kim Dotcom beat the New Zealand Attorney-General and Crown Law Office resoundingly in Court, winning access to their files on him and $90,000 cash.

Binoy Kampmark writing at Dissident Voice "a radical newsletter for peace and social justice" has written an excellent article on Kim Dotcom's recent landmark New Zealand Court ruling entitled No Small Victory

The full judgement in plaintiff Kim Dotcom's favor documents a Keystone cops description of mishandling of the case by the appropriate authorities.

From Dissident Voice:

These chronicles on fumbling and bumbling have become thick folios of malice and incompetence. The spectacular dawn raid on Dotcom’s house in January 2012 was initially declared invalid by High Court justice Helen Winkelmann, having failed to specify what offence justified the raid and under what terms the warrant was being executed over.

Justice Winkelmann also ruled that the all-committed FBI had broken the law in removing digital material from Dotcom’s computers and taking it out of New Zealand. “They could not authorise the shipping offshore of those hard drives with no check to see if they contained relevant material.”

Kim Dotcom was very pleased with his win, which requires the government to pay him $90k for hurt feelings and probably at least some of his legal costs.

“After years of perseverance the time is here, we won, we’re getting to the truth,” he chortled in a joyful tweet. “I’m no longer the defendant.” Not quite – but on this occasion, his victory refocused attention on the subject of Dotcom as a person of legal worth, one singled out by the absurdist, malevolent tendencies of arbitrary state power.
