At this point I think the entire case needs to be thrown out, or settled. Leave Kim alone. This entire mess really should've never gotten this far.

I honestly think this guy is a fraud and a complete idiot, but the state really did wrong here, so I have to agree. If this isn't thrown out, then what ever will?

Exactly. Everyone is entitled to fundamental rights, not just the people we like.

Sounds like everyone is all in agreement then. Let's just hope the courts are just in this matter.

I listened to the whole live streamed appeal trial, ( over 50 hours of arguments ).

There is a clear miscarriage of justice, and protecting the justice system's integrity should come above pleasing Hollywood.

Unless you've started a multi-million dollar company... I don't think you're in any place to call KimDotCom "fraud" or "idiot"

The problem for his case is, he is fighting in New Zealand for how the case is made, but the real case is in the US.

The US Authorities haven't followed the New Zealand Law before, why would they follow it now? They didn't break the law in using GCSB, why should their case be affected?

Just because they illegally took the evidence collected? Than they would have closed the case before now.

I don't see how starting a business which had multi-million dollar revenue really contradicts the fraud part.

Fraud can result in substantial revenue?

You could make literally, word-for-word the same argument about Bernard Madoff. All you'd have to do is change the names.
