Today we are proud to announce the launch of the White Paper “Megaupload, the Copyright Lobby, and the Future of Digital Rights: The United States vs. You (and Kim Dotcom). The paper is available to the public right here.

The paper not only explores the numerous legal problems with the prosecution’s case, it also argues that a condition of State Capture has emerged with the Hollywood Lobby (MPAA) enjoying excessive influence over areas of public policies and institutions of government, turning them into instruments to further their own profits. This insiduous relationship has created a very dangerous set of conditions for the future of digital rights for all internet users, as the U.S. government moves forward in its determination to be a unilateral, non-accountable regulatory and censor of the global internet.
