Kim Dotcom wants to encrypt half of the Internet to end government surveillance

How fucked is America when our biggest and most intelligent rights activist and warrior is a German living in New Zealand who's name is a website URL?


Kim Dotcom is a genius. He has profound insights into what's going on these days. He has good ideas on what to do about it too, and is a man of integrity.!
His plan to create the Internet Party and forge allegiance with Mana movement is worthy of my vote!

Well... even most Americans believe that voting doesn't change things when it comes to their governments worst abuses of power. If you are going to encrypt half of the internet... then having somebody in the private sector do it is pretty much the only way to go. I say this knowing full well that it will be a cold day in hell when the US government decides that spying on its own people is wrong and that they should stop. This having been said, I don't think encryption is going to stop most major information gathering agencies in the US... until we perfect Quantum Coding, but the day we perfect quantum computing and coding technologies will be the day WWIII starts.

I really like this guy, can't find one negative thing to say about him

He is amazing .
he made his money not so legally
but who cares

so basically the government is trying to accuse someone who is smarter of copyright infringement, but anyone can go on mega and delete anything under copyright, maybe the shitty government should regulate theyre own copyright infringements. the person who made the site to share encrypted information should not be held responsible for its users. 

At some point all businesses must accept some ethical and moral responsibility. Especially when they profit for a form of traffic they can control. A car manufacturer is not responsible if someone drives their car recklessly and kills someone but if a car dealer sets up a marketplace and knowingly allows the trade in stolen cars to continue because it's profitable they are and should be legally accountable, why should this be any different in the digital realm? Consider this... What if the website in question and the illegal activity being conducted by the users was a marketplace for child trafficking for a peadophile ring? Furthermore the website owner/managers new about the types of activity conducted on his service but chose to use the same lame "I'm not the one committing the crime" defence, and insisted that it's users privacy was paramount. So they just continued to profit from the activity and hired high powered legal teams to defend themselves. How would you feel about where the responsibility (or at least part of it) lies? Would you feel okay with responses like “It's not my responsibility to protect the rights of these children or police it, that's up to their parents and the police” ?

I'm speaking for the U.S. when I say there is not an organized criminal enterprise larger than the government. I'm sure it is the same in most countries, however.

Its unfortunate countries, governments, and corporate interests care more about someone who was going to download something that cost them nothing to put out whether they were going to be able to afford it or not, then someone who goes around raping stealing and other terrible things. If you go to prison for prison for copyright infringement youll spend more time in prison then someone who raped a woman.
