(Reuters) - Search warrants used when 70 New Zealand police raided the
mansion of the suspected kingpin of an Internet piracy ring were illegal, a
New Zealand court ruled on Thursday, dealing a blow to the FBI's highest
profile global copyright theft case.



後面懶得翻了，講大意

German national Kim Dotcom, also known as Kim Schmitz, was one of four men
arrested in January as part of an investigation of his Megaupload.com website
led by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

事件過程

Prosecutors say Dotcom was the ringleader of a group that had netted $175
million since 2005 by copying and distributing music, movies and other
copyrighted content without authorization.

檢察官說他A很多

Dotcom's lawyers say the company simply offered online storage.

On Thursday, High Court Judge Justice Helen Winkelmann found the warrants
used in the seizure of property from Dotcom's mansion near Auckland were
illegal and that moves by the FBI to copy data from Dotcom's computer and
take it offshore were also unlawful.

related," Winkelmann said in her ruling. "Indeed they fell well short of
that. They were general warrants, and as such, are invalid."

In response, New Zealand's police said in a statement they were considering
the judgment and were in discussions with Crown Law "to determine what
further action might be required".

Police said no further comment would be made until that process was complete.

FIGHTING EXTRADITION

Dotcom is on bail in New Zealand, fighting attempts by U.S. authorities who
are seeking to extradite him on charges of copyright theft and money
laundering. An extradition hearing is set for August.

Dotcom and his lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

被告方並未針對警方立場做回覆

Television New Zealand quoted a spokesman for Dotcom as saying he was
"pleased" but he would not be making any further comment on the court
decision as appeals were likely.

Lawyers representing the U.S. government said the ruling had come as "no
surprise" and that their legal team would be discussing options, including
whether an appeal will be lodged, TVNZ reported.

Armed officers, backed by helicopters, cut Dotcom out of a safe room he had
barricaded himself in within the sprawling country estate, reputedly New
Zealand's most expensive home. Millions of dollars in assets were seized or
frozen including almost 20 luxury vehicles, dozens of computers and art works.

Before it was shut down in January, Megaupload was one of the world's most
popular websites, where millions of users stored data, either for free or by
paying for premium service. Authorities say megaupload.com and related sites
cheated copyright holders out of more than $500 million.

U.S. lawyers for Megaupload have also argued that U.S. federal authorities
cannot charge the company with criminal behavior because it is Hong Kong
based, and also that no papers have ever been formally served.
