The whole megaupload ordeal was one of the first times I remember feeling ashamed of my government's actions as a teenager. The cops used an illegal warrant to raid his home and illegally sent copies of his hard drives to the American FBI.
It was an abuse of NZ's power in favour of a foreign government, I'm fine with him being charged thru a civil suit for profiting off piracy, but having the weight of the NZ government back foreign companies in a civil case was absurd.
