Mega Conz? Really?

First thing I noticed too! For anyone missing it, "mega.co.nz" -> Mega Conz -> Mega Cons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick

The perils of country-specific TLDs. Spare a thought for the poor Cook Islanders.

As someone who lives in New Zealand, I think that its only a matter of time before the domain name is seized. This whole MegaUpload affair has shown that the US government has quite a lot of sway over the NZ government and in my opinion I don't think they will stop until he's extradited to the US and put behind bars.

Yeah, because that old trick still works.

Assange is still chill-banging. Sipping Aguardiente. Schmoozing Ecuadorian diplomats. Yelling shit about the commander-in-chief out from the balcony to the glassy-eyed press [1].

As for Mr. DotCom, don't hold your breath. NZ is still busy kissing his arse [2].
