re: Kim Dotcom: MPA & RIAA Megaupload Lawsuits Now Inactive
Kim Dotcom Took on a Pro-Ukraine Meme Group & Got Utterly ****posted
Following the Twitter account of Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom every single day for the last ten years is a requirement for keeping up to date with the largest copyright infringement case of all time.

It’s also pretty depressing, not to mention exhausting. Copyright law has always been controversial, but rarely this political or to these depths.
Dotcom’s association with massively successful tech platforms and his ability to inspire positivity among certain sections of the tech community has largely given way to a quagmire of anti-American politics generously dipped in conspiracy theories. Or, depending on perspective, the hidden truth that ‘they’ don’t want you to know about. Dotcom was hit hard by the US Government and he’s been trying to return the favor for more than a decade.
In a mostly free world where discourse is encouraged, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having alternative or even unpopular opinions. It’s Dotcom’s Twitter account and it carries his views. Anyone who doesn’t like them is free to immediately unfollow and read about something else.
Those without that option will have read many times that if there is something bad in the world, the ‘US Empire’ is either directly behind it or playing a key manipulating role. Whether it’s the takedown of Megaupload, COVID-19, financial and/or fuel crises, the control of the mainstream media, or a lack of interest in the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, look no further than the US Government.
Or Joe Biden personally. Or the CIA. And/or Deep State actors.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is absolutely no different, at least according to Dotcom’s tweets since February. While it may appear that Putin is the aggressor, Dotcom says he was deliberately pushed into attacking a neighboring country by the cunning of the United States, which provoked a proxy war to weaken its enemy by expending Ukrainian lives, not those of Americans.
Just a few days after Putin sent tens of thousands of soldiers across the border, Dotcom had all the big answers to the world’s most pressing problem. None of them involved stopping the killing by reversing an invasion. All of them involved giving Putin exactly what he wanted, critics on Twitter wrote.
To find peace, Dotcom said that Ukraine needed to meet Russia’s demands right away, including the surrender of more sovereign territory and a formal acknowledgment that territory already lost was so important to the Russia, it should stay in Russia’s hands.
