Regardless of what you might think of Kim, his personality, his wealth fact is the US administration broke it's own (and international) law to take him out. The administrations' style is one of intimidation and aggression. Laws are for regular people it seems. Kim was left without access to his own funds / video-footage / hardware so he would not be able to set up an effective defense.<p>This entire ordeal tells us more about the current administration than Kim.
No matter what people say about the legality/morality of his businesses, I love this guy's oversized personality. He's one of those guys that keeps things interesting on the internet.
The only reason he doesn't like copyright law is because it stands in the way of him living the life he wants.<p>This guy absolutely disgusts me -- he doesn't give a shit about free speech, he just wants to live in his enormous mansion and eat far too much food and drive expensive cars and show off his trophy wife.
This is bizarre. Why is this aimed so squarely at "Mr President" - The Obama Administration was anti SOPA, whereas the republican senate was behind it. Sure, the reality is probably more subtle than this, but if you must pick a single entity, the Republican Senate seems like a better target. Less sexy I guess.
Meh, can't see his new site. What's wrong with latest Firefox ESR? The website doesn't look like too advanced (from what I can see in Opera), just a bunch of embeds.
He should declare war on retarded web designers as well.<p><a href="http://img.nux.ro/3jF-kim.com.png" rel="nofollow">http://img.nux.ro/3jF-kim.com.png</a>
the worst thing about this whole megaupload fubar is that Mr Schmitz gets airtime again. I had hoped that he would have disappeared for good. He was an annoying fake back when he only operated in Germany and didn't get any better over the years.
This is just like his old kimble.org page... big words and I promise you: nothing remotely justifying it actually behind it. He has been trolling JUST like this in the 90s and looks like he is using his current publicity to do the same now.<p>In the end it is ALL about making money for him and it always has been. He has been doing the same "business" back in the 90s and famously turned over former associates to the police to cut deals.
I remember the first time I learned of Kim - 10+ years ago.<p>From the early days, his questionable 'projects', his legal troubles back home, his money making schemes, him defrauding people on BMW M5 forums, etc. Then I didn't hear about him for 10 years.<p>When his name came out during the Megaupload uproar, I immediately remembered his name and his antics and without knowing anything about Megaupload I knew he was guilty as sin just based on his record.
