The charges of "racketeering, money laundering, and copyright theft" also carry the stink of a US judicial system that often appears to be trying to bully victims into submission. People who don't think they are guilty of anything particularly serious, or who may even claim they are contributing to the public good, are supposed to plead guilty in return for a much lighter punishment than the decades of jail they're threatened with.
In some cases, as with Aaron Swartz and Jonathan James, the bullying approach does not have the desired result.
In the MegaUpload case, Kim Dotcom has managed to turn the assault on his New Zealand home and Hong Kong-registered business into an endless supply of free publicity.
