U.S. prosecutors say Megaupload raked in at least $175 million — mainly from people who used the site to illegally download songs, television shows and movies -— before the FBI shut it down in early 2012 and arrested Dotcom and other company officers.

I bet prison in NZ is like Mordor.

Why would you think that? New Zealand doesn't have for-profit prisons AFAIK. I think the US has the worst prisons.

I think they were just making a Lord of the Rings joke because the movies were filmed in New Zealand. I don't think they really believe that New Zealand prisons are bad.

Isn't that where they filmed the Lord of the Rings movies?
