A New Zealand court refused an appeal by the founder of online file-sharing site Megaupload.com to be freed on bail on Friday, agreeing with prosecutors there was a risk he would attempt to flee before an extradition hearing...

Some Marine in the USA shoots up a bunch of innocent people in a war zone... and he gets three months sentence.

This guy uploads and downloads some bits and bytes and gets treated like a freaking Genocidal tyrant.

Damn...This guy is absolutely done even if he were to land in Germany, the US and the EU have decided to use this guy as an example for the rest of the web site owners.

His best chance is to start planning a prison break-out and escaping to South America.

Just read about a male nurse drugging and raping a patient yet he gets bail... You are right VioAdmin this guy is being used as an example...

This shows you how ridiculous it's become ..

Under SOPA, you could get 5 years for uploading a Michael Jackson song, one year more than the doctor who killed him.
