Kim is turning into a Julian Assange of the Internet and he is now taking this to a whole new level.
- GotAnyMegadeth 14y agoIs JA not the JA of the internet?
- denzil_correa 14y agoIn my books, Assange deals more with politics and organizational process issues. Sure - he uses the Internet as his medium. On the other hand, Kim Dotcom deals with Internet issues.
- kzrdude 14y agoAnd both are getting stuck in the corruption of the system. More people need to combat it. Corruption exists in many forms. When you pay someone to get around the law you know it is corruption, but when a law is created to do one thing, but it is used for another thing it is also corruption.
- veb 14y ago>> corruption of the system The difference between Julian Assange and Kim Dotcom is that Kim Dotcom is in New Zealand, which is tied with 3 other countries as the countries with the least perceived corruption in the world.[1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
- sigzero 14y agoAssange is a douche. Let's not lump the two together.
- illuminate 14y agoAssange's alleged assaults would put him in a different class than a con-artist, I suppose.
- flyinRyan 14y agoWhat and you think Kim is a great guy? It's really important to separate the work from the person. I doubt many of us would have wanted to be friends with Steve Jobs but man I'm glad he existed and did the (professional) things he did.
- illuminate 14y agoDotcom is trying to make a buck, not sincerely change the system.
- flyinRyan 14y agoIf making a buck ends up changing the system, why would I care about why he did it? If you go back and look at history with a critical eye you'll find none of your heroes had you in mind when they did whatever it is they did. If we only celebrate the self-less then we have no one to thank for much of anything. That doesn't strike me as very fair.
- illuminate 14y agoHey, I'll be happy if this changes anything for the better. I feel I'm setting my expectations reasonably low. He's best known for bluster and charisma and promises unfulfilled, after all. I'd happily eat these words if anything positive comes from this.
- skeletonjelly 14y agoYeah this is according to TorrentFreak. Of course they're going to put him up as a role model.
