“Now it turns out Kim Dotcom may have been beaten up by the police, even though he didn’t resist arrest, and spent a month in jail. Let’s try to summarize. He built from scratch one of the first and largest file-sharing facilities in the world. He apparently helped invent or at least popularize cloud computing. And he was working on an imaginative way for artists to present their music directly over Megaupload’s facilities without the need for a record company’s sponsorship. This is the man who was beaten up in his home while being arrested by a SWAT team complete with black helicopters … one including a squad of FBI agents dispatched halfway around the world.”
