Encryption Keys For Kim Dotcom's Data Can't Be Given To FBI, Court Rules 149
the simurgh writes: As many who follow the Kim Dotcom saga know, New Zealand police seized his encrypted computer drives in 2012, copies of which were illegally passed to the FBI. Fast-forward to 2014: Dotcom wants access to the seized but encrypted content. A New Zealand judge has now ruled that even if the Megaupload founder supplies the passwords, the encryption keys cannot be forwarded to the FBI.

I don't know who I dislike more in this case. Is there any way we can get Kim Dotcom and the FBI to go all Point Break on each other and get locked into a Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves death spiral except without the single parachute?

Ok, challenge accepted: Find me one of THESE governments that can do a balanced budget.

They'd claim they broke the encryption using some "Super Duper Top Secret Compute Cluster" and attempt to use it
...and to nevermind the numerous wrench shaped bruises all over Kim.
