A week-long Supreme Court battle over the extradition of Kim Dotcom and his business associates has begun. Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom and Matthias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato face extradition to the US, which claims they were involved in a worldwide criminal organisation that led to an estimated loss to copyright holders of more than US$500 million.
They face more than a dozen criminal copyright charges relating to the now-defunct file-sharing website Megaupload?, which it is alleged to have shared pirated films, games and music.
They have been fighting the extradition since […] 2012.
