keeveek: What I'm saying is, it's so BASIC for fair trial to show the evidence before the trial to the defendant (he has to know from what he'll be defending...), and yet your authorities are trying to deny those rights to him?
Is USA a new incarnation of Soviet Russia?
Rohan15: I wasn't being sarcastic. And yes, we are.
Sadly, I agree. I just need to rant here

The only thing they are doing with this fraud is losing credibility. All this over piracy, and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that mega upload did have some function where you can flag a file for review if it contained copyrighted material.
Why the focus so much attention on that one nerd instead of directing their focus on people who actually are menaces to society such as the drug cartels, human trafficers, producers of CP, and serial killers. I'm not saying that they shouldn't try to stop piracy, but that level of force was pure overkill and uncalled for. Farthermore, how the hell did they expect New Zealand to not be interested in seeing the evidence against one of their own and ensure he recieves some form of a fair trial?
