The High Court has ruled the police raid on internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom's Auckland mansion was illegal and the removal from New Zealand of cloned copies of hard drives seized was unlawful.

Justice Helen Winkelmann found the warrants used did not adequately describe the offences to which they were related.

"Indeed they fell well short of that. They were general warrants, and as such, are invalid.''

cant help but wonder what the eventual counter suit will be like.... carpathia hosting has quite a large bill that would need to be paid after all...

We can only hope it's enough to make the buggers think twice before they pull this kind of bully boy tactic again, they don't seem to listen to anything soceity says.

The emporer has no clothes and his advisors are sueing the little boy who told him he was naked.

i wish the US political system worked like the EU.... the US pirate party would have more of a foothold.... as it stands now we just have two political ways to go... the ass and the hole in the ground...

...doesnt help that the current vice pres and chris dodd are bedfellows... and its worse that the other choice is completely insane... im going to be embarrassed regardless of what names i pick on the ballot this year....

organise a mass revolt, get millions to write 'Kim Dotcom' on the ballot papers and then a checkmark in front of his name

even if millions cared enough just to just send an email it would help.

ballots in the US are all electronic (thanks to bush and diebold) ... touchscreen to pick the candidate (and hope your vote actually gets registered) ... there are no more paper ballots with the option for a write-in
