Kim DotCom's REAL "crime" was not donating at least a million to Obama 2012.

Not quite. His real crime was stealing and distributing for profit the legally protected work of others.

This fat freak has apparently made a one-man(?) end-run around centuries of legal establishment.

In a just world, he'd be publicly hanged.

And as for his "customers", well, thank God for karma.

Is the U.S. government's huge criminal trial against Megaupload in trouble?

The one where the federal government uses taxpayer dollars to do the bidding of the RIAA and MPAA? The one in which thousands of law-abiding Megaupload users lost all access to their perfectly legal files along with whatever stolen content happened to be on Megaupload's servers? The one in which a company has been shut down and ruined even though no wrong-doing has even been proven in a court of law?

Yeah, tough bananas. The RIAA and MPAA used the federal government to get a cloud storage service shut down and intimidate dozens of other such storage services, and that was the entire purpose of the exercise. Legality and trials be damned.
