Saw this while browsing the web and thought it was too interesting to pass up. As some of you may know the founder of MegeUpload, Kim Dotcom aka Kim Schmidt’s mansion was raided a few months ago. MegaUpload is a major site used for proliferation of pirated and bootleg copies of movies and TV shows, although it does host other videos similar to Youtube. Dotcom’s house was raided and the site shut down as an FBI operation to stop piracy. Your views about government force and piracy aside the following video shows the raid performed on Dotcom’s mansion. I thought it was interesting to see the lifestyle of a internet “pirate” and the government’s response. Video comes from a New Zealand news Broadcast were Dotcom lived. Give your thoughts below.

One would think this guy was a drug lord or something, that was way over the top.
“Whats he got? Data? Yeah, roll in the tanks… this could get serious quick… who knows, he might have a Mech Suit…”
