   Judge: Search and seizure at Dotcom mansion illegal

   The police search and seizure at Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom’s mansion have been ruled illegal by a High Court Judge.

   Chief High Court Judge Helen Winkelmann has just released the ruling.

   Dotcom’s wife, Mona, took to Twitter after the announcement was made public, tweeting: “Amazing news today!!!”.

   In a summary of her findings, Judge Winkelmann said the warrants executed by police “did not adequately describe the offences to which they related”.

   “Indeed they fell well short of that. They were general warrants, and as such, are invalid.”

   Don't know how many people have heard of Michael Robertson, but he started mp3.com, sold it, & among other things later started MP3tunes, a company where you store your music on-line, then stream it to your devices anywhere. He's apparently had his share of legal battles with the music industry, & so may know more about that sort of thing than most. A while back this is what he had to say about the U.S> government's actions against Megaupload -- he brings up some good points.
