In reality, the entertainment industry as a whole is less than 10% of the GNP. Every once in a while they get slapped back in their corner and told to behave when they pinch the big boys of the economy. GE, AT&T, and a few other major corporations did this to one of the proposed bills that came out before DMCA. After throwing money at lobbying for a while they went in with that bill and promptly found out they weren't as big and bad as they thought they were. The bill died quickly and quietly with nary a sound.
More and more it appears to me that Kim is being managed. There is someone in the background giving him advice on how to use the publicity he is generating to maximum effect. This is why Kim doesn't look as much a criminal as a hero on the net. In the process he's making the DoJ look like the Keystone Cops. Tweeking the POTUS may not be the smartest move but then it looks like he's gambling a lot on forcing the US to either move up the extradition process or drop it. The pinch he's in is that the US has the money confiscated and locked down. Without it, Kim can't develop a fair defense and that is what the DoJ is trying to prevent.
"Because we say so" is not a legal charge that can be used in court. But by not really putting out much info on this they have left Kim's defense team in limbo until they have data and charges to work with.

I admire what he is trying to do now, but not what he did in the past. He already has convictions for other serious things before he ever started his Mega Group.
He is slick........ he doesnt need help in what he is "putting out there" and releasing in different ways.
He has a lot more money than that confiscated by the US & is making a lot more $$$ in various ways, thanks to all the media interest in his latest prosecution.
