After reading the first dozen questions, how many million years would you say it would be before you ever agree to answer questions from slashdot posters again?
It's an embarrassment to have a ask Slashdot featuring Kim Dotcom.
And why is that?
We're supposed to be the smart crowd in the internet, and pride ourselves in having open minds and hearing both sides.
Is it important to get information that wasn't delivered by the news outlets?

With all of the ridiculously non "news for nerds" stuff that appears on this site since the dice acquisition, you're going to pick a fight against an ask Slashdot of Kim Dotcom? This is exceptionally relevant to the tech community, far moreso than how IBM is helping to fashion a "smarter planet" or whatever tautological benign platitude advertisements they're plastering around websites this month.
Yeah because it's not like the Slashdot crowd have anything in common with someone who has a problem with overarching US governmental efforts to apply universal jurisdiction outside of their authority, who thinks that linking shouldn't be copyright infringement, and that believes someone needs to stand up and stick it to the RIAA/MPAA.
His problem is with getting caught. It's sad that no one remembers that lying thieving bastard he was known to be just a few years ago. Forget about him claiming to hack Bin Laden?
He's opportunistic. He's anti-govenement, copyright stance is nothing but ruse to gather people to his side and to make him more money.
