Kim Dotcom launches New Zealand political party

(BBC) Kim Dotcom, whose site MegaUpload was shut down by US authorities in 2012, has formally launched a political party in New Zealand.


The Internet Party was a "movement for the freedom of the internet and technology, for privacy and political reform", the tycoon said.

New Zealand goes to the polls in September.

Mr Dotcom is fighting extradition to the US over charges of copyright infringement on a "massive scale".

To enter parliament, the Internet Party must win an electoral seat or secure 5% of the vote. One suggestion was that he could align with an existing party, but his most likely ally earlier this week cast doubt on that plan.

One thing for sure, he has the cash to fund such an expedition... albeit futile one...

Great! And if I were a Kiwi would cast my ballot for him as well.

He has the same lawyer as Thaksin Shinawatra.. I think maybe Thakkie is giving some advice!

An unfortunate choice of name. Was'nt it dotcom that yuppies bought into some years back then realised that it was of no substance. So it crashed and many lost money.

Good luck to all in NZ hope you get what you want in September.

Seems a larger than life character ,no on can accuse of meagre upload.

Pirate parties in Penzance Berlin,Holland and Sweden have all been jolly rogered.
