Re: worked with the authorities
The key phrase there is "when asked".
There's no doubt Megaupload made a lot of money from filesharing subscriptions and there's no doubt a lot of the files that were shared were copyright infringing. The question is whether or not Dotcom knew about it and didn't care as long as the dosh rolled in as a matter of policy.
The Feds must prove that he wilfully and knowingly made money from illegal filesharing.
The hostile takedown I can only put down to the fact his gaff looked like a Bond villain lair and they couldn't resist storming the castle of the Blofeld of copyright infringement enablers.
