He is now a NZ resident - this scares me - according to local news sources, "His residency application for New Zealand initially failed the "good character" test, but was approved after he invested $10 million in Government bonds and made a donation to the Christchurch Earthquake Fund" That makes it look like you can buy your way in here. Glad I didn't make that decision, whoever did must be worried now. |

Indeed, social security is a good investment. Similarly, some piracy can be a good investment too. But it should be better regulated by laws, otherwise too restrictive laws only breeds corruptions and mafia.

When this first started I thought it was just Copyright infringement and the big movie companies at play but the more I read the more I realize that was not the case. |

Time zone edge.
![]() Usually works the other way on stories near the date line, though. The notable thing to me is how he tried to block them and they caught him holed up with the shotgun but decided not to shoot it out after all. Last edited by fjtorres; 01-21-2012 at 08:07 PM. |

I read it was a panic room he was hiding in that they had to cut into to get him.

I was thinking more in terms of extradition. Many countries won't extradite their own citizens unless the crime has ocurred in the country asking for extradition, and then it usually has to be a violent crime. In Mr Dotcom's case the crimes has taken place globally and - as far as I know - nobody gut physically injured. However, if it is not a citizen then extraditions rules tend to be more lenient.
