Kim Dotcom, the founder of Megaupload, was released from jail a few weeks ago and now is breaking his silence about his copyright infringement case. Currently Dotcom is in New Zealand but the US Government seeks to extradite him. He has been gathering evidence which he hopes will support his version of events.

Some emails which allegedly show Dotcom himself shared copyrighted material on Megaupload are the main evidence being used against him. The charges claim Dotcom uploaded tracks by 50 Cent and Louis Armstrong to Megaupload. Dotcom claims that it was a private link to files that he purchased and was not posted publicly. He says the evidence cited in the indictment was merely used to test a private linking feature with his Chief Technology Officer. Read more: Kim Dotcom finally speaks out about Megaupload charges.
