Nice neighbours in NZ: <Ms. Komoroske said she replied to Mr. Dotcom, saying, “We’d love to come over for coffee. How’s tomorrow?”>

I used an internet product called "Drop Box" which I suppose is similar to Megaupload, in that I can't drop data into it and give access to other people.

It seems that what he has done is not much different from what the government does in providing public highways on which criminals drive to download property from my house to their vehicles to make the transfer to their place or their friendly neighbourhood "fence".

Can we sue the government for allowing criminals to access the highways?

How to stop illegal copyright breaches is the hard part. Shutting all roads is one way.

We now have the "Copyright infringement" laws in NZ 3strikes.net.nz which are a pain in the neck for everyone trying to provide internet service to customers or others because nobody can control who does what. Blaming the road operator, or wifi provider, or isp, or customer of the isp is unreasonable.

Identifying the actual crooks is what's needed.
