Judge orders US to share MegaUpload evidence

2012/05/31

A New Zealand judge has given law enforcement officials three weeks to provide documentary evidence against managers of the MegaUpload cloud-storage service, who have been accused of encouraging massive copyright infringement.

Judge David Harvey was responding to a request made by MegaUpload's lawyers to require New Zealand, which is pressing the case on behalf of the US, to fully disclose the evidence against company managers. The US government in January indicted MegaUpload's founder Kim DotCom and five others connected to the company on criminal copyright charges.

Before an extradition hearing is held, Harvey wants to give DotCom's lawyers a chance to review the evidence against the defendants. Though the US Department of Justice (DOJ) included some email conversations and documents in the MegaUpload indictment, Harvey wants them to see everything they have.
