You have no idea, the guy is a genius. You've been brainwashed dude.

Wired had a good writeup of Kim: http://www.wired.com/2012/01/kim-dotcom/. He's a very effective self-promoter and an excellent Call of Duty player, but not a technologist or well respected in any business circle. The man makes his money for better or worse via enabling copyright infringement.

Whether you agree or disagree with existing laws, Bitshares isn't primarily about copyright law. You guys have market pegged assets, decentralized exchange, DAC business models, incumbency value transitions, and stealth addresses. It seems you should be looking for allies in those spheres such as people like Ray Kurzweil or Pieter Hintjins. The latter btw is one of the worlds foremost network engineers and completely philosophically aligned with your movement > http://hintjens.com/blog:36 (His book is free: http://cultureandempire.com/#/).

Allies are easy enough to find, but you have to have vision and proper execution to actually utilize them. You have to say hey in a year we will be here and accomplish this and within three years we'll be there. Then people with like goals will naturally be drawn to your movement.

I dont wish anyone to get extradited for copyright infringement, but that guy clearly was playing with fire by making millions off copyright infringement. I remember watching an interview with him, and he called it "innovation".

The guy is a blowhard and an unstable businessman with limited respect for the law. Take my advice and don't invite people like Kim into your community.

This is not the first time this guy has gone broke. He's always been walking along the thin line between legal and illegal, and often ended up on the wrong side.
I don't know the guy just wanted to say that many successfully personality's have get several times broke before they succeed...

He has sacrificed a lot personally and professionally. His biggest regret is not taking the MPAA/RIAA serious enough. He believed he would be protected by the law.

Can someone contact Kim DotCom? Introduce him to 2.0 technologies including Bitshares? Partnership opportunities?
