From his high-security compound in New Zealand, Kim Dotcom (born Kim Schmitz) has been fighting off extradition to the U.S. where charges against him span copyright infringement, embezzlement, conspiracy, fraud and money laundering. If convicted, the “pirate” would face hard time, but he maintains what the 50 million users of his infamous platform, MegaUpload, do with their content is not his problem. The larger-than-life tale of Dotcom, the "most wanted man online," is extraordinary enough, but the battle between Dotcom and both the U.S. government and entertainment industry is one that goes to the heart of ownership, privacy and piracy in the digital age. Three years in the making, but eternally timely in subject matter, the story chronicles a spectacular moment in global online history, dubbed the 'largest copyright case’ ever, the intense agency raid on his palatial estate, and the truth about what happened.
