Kim Dotcom: A true-crime documentary, but with a cyber twist!
Tech entrepreneir and owner of the popular fish-sharing site, MegaUpload, Kim Dotcom arrived in New Zealand with his family in late 2010. Seeking peace and quiet, Dotcom rented the largest mansion in the land and settled down into an extravagant, luxurious life with his family.
In January 2012, it all came crashing down. At the FBI's behest, 70 heavily armed officers stormed the mansion, arresting Dotcom and his coders on a range of charges relaating to alleged copyright infringment by MegaUpload. Dotcom refused to be quieted. Once out on bail he continued to make waves, gathering around him and unexpected and contradictory group of bedfellows, throwing raves, starting political parties, provoking the powerful and fighting the charges against him every step of the way.
People have an incredible wide range of views: Is he a bit-strean pirate or a folk hero? An underdog taking on the US superpower or a thief? A wealthy businessman or a freedom-loveing anarchist? All of the above?
