  • The Disquieting Dotcom Case 5:30 AM Sunday Jan 29, 2012
    The disquieting Dotcom case 5:30 AM Sunday Jan 29, 2012 The arrest of the alleged internet pirate Kim Dotcom and three of his associates last week is questionable both for the manner in which it was conducted and for the official actions that preceded it. The early-morning raid on his mansion north of Auckland bore an unintentionally comic resemblance to a movie from Hollywood - one of the pillars of the American corporate establishment that has a keen interest in seeing Dotcom in a US court. Some 76 officers, six times as many as took out Osama bin Laden, swooped - a lot more than are deployed against allegedly desperate homegrown criminals, except perhaps for terrorists in Te Urewera. The police also used two black helicopters, so operation commander Detective Inspector Grant Wormald's assertion that "it was definitely not as simple as knocking at the front door" is hard to argue with. Wormald's dry remark referred to Dotcom's alleged retreat into the house: he is said to have activated electronic locks, which police had to "neutralise", and to have "barricaded" himself in a safe room. The images evoked are straight from a spy movie and irresistibly characterise Dotcom as a desperate fleeing criminal. But people can react strangely when helicopters land on their front lawn at dawn, particularly if they once put a US$10m bounty on the head of Osama bin Laden, as Dotcom did. The police's colourful version of events was helpfully presented to the news media in a detailed press release - in stark contrast to the neither-confirm-nor-deny response they take to media questions when, say, a civilian is shot by an officer.

As we have indicated in our previous filings, the MPAA Members’ interest in this hearing, and in any resolution of Mr. Goodwin’s motion, is simply to ensure that if the Court decides to craft a remedy for third-party Megaupload users, any such remedy include safeguards to prevent retrieval of infringing materials. Again, the MPAA Members are sympathetic to any users who may have lost their only copy of material that they had lawfully copied onto Megaupload for legitimate purposes. And the MPAA Members continue to take no position on whether the Court should or should not exercise its equitable jurisdiction to respond to Mr. Goodwin’s request.

  • Privacy in the US in a Post-Snowden World Debora Halbert & Stefan
    By Policy or Design? Privacy in the US in a Post-Snowden World Volume 1 (2) 2015 By Policy or Design? Privacy in the US in a Post-Snowden World Debora Halbert & Stefan Larsson. Abstract By drawing from a number of studies in the field as well as the Snowden revelations and the case of MegaUpload/MEGA, the article makes an analysis of relevant legislation on privacy in the digital context. The purpose of the analysis is to understand to what extent and how the current paradigm of privacy protection is, or is not, sufficient for contemporary needs. In particular, we ask how privacy is protected by policy in an American context and to what extent this is or is not insufficient in relation to an approach of “privacy by design”. In short, we conclude that privacy by policy is necessary but not sufficient and that efforts should be made to further implement policy by design. 1. Introduction In his recent book, The Circle, David Eggars writes about a fictional social media company that, through its ubiquitous presence and constant technological innovation, was changing the way its employees and people throughout the world perceived their on-line lives.1 Through friendly interventions and constant digital interactions, the characters in The Circle come to realize the benefits of a fully transparent and digitally downloaded life. The goal for the circle, as envisioned by its corporate leaders, was full transparency because only then do we come to a point of true authenticity and public honesty. The circle, as envisioned by Eggars, and perhaps being pursued by not-so-fictional social media companies, could also be understood as a form of friendly fascism, a term coined by Bertram Gross in the 1980s.2 Gross argued that fascism would not come to the United States in the form of militarism and violence but rather, it would come in the form of government and corporate convergence.

  • The Cooperation Provisions of the UN Convention Against Transnational Organised Crime: a ‘Toolbox’ Rarely Used?
    The Cooperation Provisions of the UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime: A ‘Toolbox’ rarely used? Abstract This article examines the provisions for international cooperation in the UN Convention and Transnational Organised Crime (UNTOC) and their effectiveness in achieving the UNTOC’s goal of promoting effective cooperation in the prevention and combating of transnational organised crime. It is a response to the growing sense that the UNTOC is not as effective a tool as promised, which sense is exacerbated by the absence of a functional review mechanism for the UNTOC. The article notes the delimitation of the scope of the UNTOC based on organised crime groups that participate in serious transnational crime. It then goes on to describe the UNTOC’s provisions for informal law enforcement cooperation, mutual legal assistance, international cooperation in asset recovery and extradition, and examines what little evidence there is of the implementation of these provisions. It concludes that the UNTOC appears to be have been more successful as a tool for promoting informal rather than formal cooperation, and speculates as to why this may be so. by Neil Boister 1.

  • What Is the True Legacy of Kim Dotcom?
    What is the true legacy of Kim Dotcom? No legacy is more controversial than that of Kim Dotcom. Has he an infamous legacy or a revolutionary one? A legacy of a cybercriminal or a digital entrepreneur? Was he a fugitive or political victim? Through his academic and professional lifetime Dotcom transformed from an “alienated young genius” 1 to the CEO of a site with “150 million users2”, Megaupload. Through this journey he has left his mark in the digital landscape, transforming the availability and commercialisation of online services. Yet his academic legacy also has a darker and more sinister twist: the power of the authorities and the wide scale economic impact of technology are prominent themes. There is also another side to Dotcom, often hidden in his portrayal by the media, a loving father and a husband which adds a more humanistic side to Dotcom’s legacy. It reminds us that at the end of the day despite his influential personality, Dotcom is human, like you and me. During his youth, Dotcom became renowned in Germany for being a well-known hacker. Whilst most kids got their enjoyment from sports, Dotcom attained his from breaking into international cyber services. He claimed to hack into the Pentagon, one of the most secure buildings in the whole of the USA. Whilst it has never been proven if he did commit this crime, there is no doubt he had the potential. Later, he went to claim that "every PBX is an open door to me"3 and sold the access codes at $200 each.

  • Our Practice Is International in Scope, and We Are Accustomed To
    Transnational Litigation RECENT REPRESENTATIONS White Collar We won a complete dismissal of all claims against Odebrecht in a civil suit in Washington, D.C. seeking over $200 million in damages stemming from Odebrecht’s participation in the massive Petrobras bribery scheme that has sent shockwaves through Brazil. A group of investment funds managed by EIG had invested over $200 million in a Brazilian company, Sete, that Petrobras created to extract oil in waters off the coast of Brazil. As part of the Petrobras bribery scheme, Odebrecht and certain other Brazilian shipyards paid bribes to Sete to secure lucrative contracts to build drillships for the oil extraction. When this fact came to light, Sete went bankrupt, and EIG started looking for who it could sue. In 2016, EIG filed suit against Petrobras, Odebrecht, and other Brazilian shipyard owners, in federal court in D.C. alleging they had all conspired to defraud EIG by inducing it to invest in Sete without disclosing the ongoing bribery scheme. We persuaded Judge Mehta to dismiss the claims against Odebrecht, both because EIG could not establish that an objective of the bribery scheme was to defraud EIG and because EIG had not established a sufficient connection between Odebrecht and Washington, D.C. to enable the court to exercise personal jurisdiction over it. We represent FIFA in connection with U.S. and Swiss criminal investigations against current and former football officials into allegations of bribery and corruption in the international soccer world. We are advising FIFA, which is considered a victim of the alleged wrongdoings, on the investigations and have conducted an internal investigation on behalf of the organization.
