    Well for me, I say Go Big Kim Dot Com. I wish him the best and glad he is standing tall against the government tyranny and corruption that surrounds us all. He was the fall guy and as Steve Wozniak put it, “the U.S. piracy case against Kim Dotcom is “hokey” and a threat to Internet innovation.”
