Unfortunately for anyone watching however, Mr Dotcom’s hearing, has so far been as interesting as watching paint dry on a rainy day surrounded by train spotters.
Despite the self-proclaimed “Internet Freedom Fighter” tweeting defiant messages to his followers such as “The US Government wants to stop live streaming because they don’t want you to see the giant egg on their faces when they get owned in court.” And of course: “We will win this together. Then we make them pay. Then they will remember. Don’t attack the Internet.”
With levels of defiance like that, and Kim Dotcom’s argument that US prosecutors are waging war on the Internet, and that MegaUpload was essentially just a web based vessel through which illegal traffic flowed, in spite of his admin team’s best efforts… the first day in court was a fairly lacklustre affair.
From the moment the trial opened at 1020 am New Zealand time, the live stream was beset by technical issues that lasted for the entire session. Picture quality fluctuated, froze, and the sound sometimes felt like it was being routed through a warped VHS tape from the 1980s. When it did work, on my laptop anyway, it was often difficult to make out what was being said anyway.
Not that any of the poor quality feed being broadcast around the world meant that anyone who was watching missed anything. The day was filled with long legal jargon filled speeches by lawyers with voices that went on for minutes at a time in exactly the same monotonous tone and pitch.
That said, it was only the first day, and in many respects both sides are just setting out their stalls for the legal fight that is to follow.
Kim Dotcom himself didn’t seem phased by the tedious first day in court, sitting as he was in his own court room at home, in a large leather chair watching the day’s proceedings on a laptop and large flat screen TV…
Kim Dotcom’s mansion was raided in 2012 by New Zealand police in 2012 at the behest of US authorities. He has fought extradition to the US ever since where he is wanted on on-line piracy charges.
This is perhaps one of the most controversial election cycles in US history, with a nation firmly divided and the glimmer of potential for a viable third-party candidate finally being bandied about. With the chaos–and yes, embarrassment–that has embodied the campaigns, the November election promises to be a spectacle.
Which is one reason you would think elections all across the country, everything from major office primaries to the chief of garbage collection in the smallest towns, would do everything they can to ensure that there’s complete transparency and no room for accusations of misconduct.
Unfortunately, the data breach that stole two states’ voter databases–a feat later blamed on Russian hackers–is only the tip of the iceberg in the country’s controversy. Now, a county in Florida has admitted that a software glitch held up the announcement of the results by almost four hours.
Lake County officials claimed that the software that accumulated the voters’ submissions at the polls didn’t connect with the separate software title that analyzed all of the submissions and produced the winning tallies. As a result, officials had to drive to all of the polling places and collect the backup flash drives from those locations’ computers, then analyze the votes themselves and tally them.
Ordinarily, this sounds like a well-thought out plan B: if the software doesn’t work, you simply count up the backup data. It’s what companies of every size around the world have to do in the event of a tech failure. Unfortunately, the results from the county’s election were somewhat surprising, with several upset victories over incumbent candidates, one who’d been in his position for 24 years. That may leave voters with the unsettling feeling that their votes were manipulated by “faulty” software, especially considering the “hanging chad” debacle that resulted in George W. Bush being elected President.
So far, the candidates who lost the ability to be on the ballot in November have not cited any fraud in this instance, but when November’s full elections take place, data breaches and software glitches have the potential to lead to an all-out riot.
