data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> about the German-Finnish hacker and anti-copyright advocate, who they call &#8220;a modern-day outlaw&#8221; and an &#8220;unlikely hero for the cause of Internet freedom.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>            The show will be based on David Fisher&#8217;s nonfiction bestseller <i>The Secret Life of Kim Dotcom: Spies, Lies, and the War For the Internet<\/i>, which features interviews with Dotcom about his hactivism and the founding of Megaupload, a popular file-sharing platform known for hosting illegal uploads of copyrighted music, movies, and television shows. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <i>The Kim Dotcom Story<\/i> will also delve into his legal battle with the U.S. Department of Justice over what prosecutors claim is &#8220;the largest criminal copyright case in U.S. history&#8221; with multiple counts of criminal copyright infringement, money laundering, racketeering, and wire fraud on the table, per the <i><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"

infamous tech entrepreneur&#8217;s case extraordinary is that the U.S. government has yet to get the New Zealand resident to stand trial. Despite shutting down Megaupload in 2012, authorities have spent more than a decade trying to extradite Dotcom back to the U.S., to the point of asking New Zealand police to raid his mansion, where they seized a dozen luxury cars and a reported $175 million in cash. And yet, Dotcom still remains a free man to this day.<\/p>\n<p>            <i>The Kim Dotcom Story<\/i> is slated to begin production next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-257703\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Sandra Song<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
