Kim Dotcom: The Man Behind Megaupload

Like VICE News? Subscribe to our news channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
In October 2013, VICE News was invited to visit the infamous tech mogul and creator of Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, at his palatial property in New Zealand. Even though Kim is under house arrest-since he's at the center of history's largest copyright case-he's still able to visit a recording studio in Auckland. So check out this brand new documentary we made at Kim's mega-mansion and in the studio where our host, Tim Pool, got to lay down some backup vocals for Kim's upcoming EDM album while talking about online surveillance, file-sharing, and Kim's controversial case.

    It feels like the guy that was sent to interview kim seems more interested in playing around the house than actually doing the interview.

    Alleging that Kim Dotcom has done something wrong with MegaUpload is like saying that someone should be arrested for building a road if someone drinks and drives on it.

    I feel so bad for Kim, he seems like a really cool kid who got rick and kept being friendly to everyone. And "they" just wanna ruin his life because he created the drive concept before the owners of the world allowed

    The government should be ashamed of themselves. The fact that they went after him because he encrypts data transmission (like every site should) and doesnt keep any logs doesnt make him a criminal. Its disgusting.

    See this is like "hey all these terrorists are using these cars to commit terror acts, let's ignore the terrorists and go after the man who invented it and ruin his life"

    Why in the hell did they need that big of a raid. I mean he wasn't a violent criminal or anything.

    I wish they sent someone better to do this interview, I bet it would have been way more interesting with all the things that Kim had to say

    When Kim said 'imagine a leader using this spying system to attack their political opposition', he was preemptively describing Joe Biden and his criminal network........
